Obssesed With Figuring Out How The Eggs Feel About Eachother Based On The Times We Can See Them Interact

A petition for Hoyoverse to better respect and stop misrepresenting the cultures of the countries represented in their game !

Hoyoverse has repeatedly taken inspiration from indigenous cultures without proper representation and respect.

In particular, the many characters from Sumeru and Natlan in Genshin Impact, and from Penacony, Sigonia or the space travelers in Honkai Star Rail are all clearly white or only lightly tanned at best, with the exception of some enemy NPCs which has sparked concerns of racism among players and indigenous communities.

Cultural appropriation and whitewashing perpetuate harmful stereotypes and diminish the rich cultural heritage of indigenous communities. These practices not only misrepresent cultures but also contribute to ongoing marginalization and disrespect.

There is a serious lack of correct representation of the world's population, too many white-skinned characters even in countries where living conditions mean that they should have a darker skin. For example, characters living in a desert or jungle, but still have very white skin? That doesn't make sense.

When this petition was created, Hoyoverse had an extremely inappropriate reaction, citing that 'They are just games'. However, these are precisely games that take inspirations from real cultures...

More detailed informations on the petition page, including requests made to Hoyoverse to address this issue.

I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

difference between insurances

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:

Reasons to move out of home

You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:

wishing to live independently

location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university

conflict with your parents

being asked to leave by your parents.

Issues to consider when moving out of home

It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:

Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.

Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.

Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.

Your parents may be worried

Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:

They may worry that you are not ready.

They may be sad because they will miss you.

They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.

They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.

Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.

Tips for a successful move

Tips include:

Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?

Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.

Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.

Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.

Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.

If your family home does not provide support

Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.

If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.

If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Things to remember

Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.

Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

Sasaki hitomi makes me so fucking sad man. like. ghh. girl was suffering so much girl was fighting tooth and nail to be the best student, best leader, best everything ever. and then shes forced to lose every last thing she has. she snaps. she may hurt herself, alot, sure, but she swore shed never hurt anyone else. maybe she swore she didnt wanna hurt others like she was hurt? then she snapped. she didnt just hurt, she killed. she saw the bone of mikis skull shatter, blood stain her perfect pristine white facade. she had to run away from her worst mistake, she had to strip bear her now stained white image and make clear all her wounds from her own hurt, reveal her real human self, she had to look yanagi, the one who saw that white facade every day and swore it was her, completley bare. skin, wounds and scars for his eyes to drink in. to be violated by her own wound so greatly as to inflict wounds on another. running from the girl she hurt to the boy she hurt. as she ran from the hurt she had just inflicted, she faced twice the hurt. her bare skin stained with her scars, and yanagis face, wounded by the fear and betrayal, and the hand she struck down for him to never hold her pale white truth again

things never to say to someone who just came out, Saiki K edition

The families at Quesadilla Island truly span from "Bobby! His parents are lawyers :)" and "Tallulah! Her dad is a traveling musician :0" to "Chayanne's care has been entrusted to the two entities in the server who are very closely connected to the concept of death, the blood god haunts his every step."

no sorry i just heard ‘everyone’s gay’ and immediately watched it, i wasn’t aware that i would get so invested in the plot that it would take over my life.

DINNER SUMMARY FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS IT:

earlier, most people got ready for the dinner (philza and etoiles literally got DECKED and ready for war, basically, both were sure it would be a trap)

quackity went to maxo and asked him to give him the names of those that caused the explosion that made him lose a candidate life or he would "make his life a living hell"

they went to the dinner, and waited to get served the food and suddenly "chayanne" and "tallulah" showed up

philza immediately clocked that they were not acting normally, and they had wrong skins (they were not cracked) and he even went back to check and their beds were back home, so he knew it wasnt the real ones. he let fit and forever know.

the candidates stepped up one by one to give their last speeches, and ElQuackity went last, suddenly goign off about "Fuck the Federation" and "if im elected the federation will end" which is super out of nowhere so. kinda sus.

all the candidates were asked to go to the stage to take group pictures, and "chayanne" and "tallulah" went in there too

Suddenly Philza was kicked from the server, the fake chayanne and tallula turned into code monsters and they started attacking the candidates

the attendees started being teleported around, and it took a while for philza to log back in, and everyone was panicking because they didnt know if it was the real chayanne or tallulah, and since phil wasnt there he couldnt confirm to them it wasnt the real eggs

they started to stall the codes from killing candidates, but slime/gegg lost his last candidate life

philza managed to get back in, and started screaming those arent his eggs and to kill the codes

him and etoiles basically had to duo pvp the two codes, and finally managed to kill them after a few minutes, it was tense as FUCK

the bodies of the codes had each a single item of the egg they were trying to pretend to be (tallulah had a maraca, chayanne the yellow signs), as well as a bunch of pictures of the parents with some eggs, but all of them were blurry/bad quality except for the one of tallulah and quackity that walter bob took, and a picture of philza, tallulah and chayanne that wsa taken in festa junina

everyone started to go on their own ways, ElQuackity and Maxo had an entire confrontation about if ElQ was from the federation and then maxo refused to tell him who caused the explosion besides himself. They fought eachother for a while, and then ElQ teleported away and disconnected.

foolish got called by the federation, and he got told to arrest pac and mike because "they had kidnapped mr mustard"

pac and mike went with him and they got teleported into seperate jail cells

cellbit interrogated foolish about it, since jaiden and forever saw pac and mike disappear, and afterwards he went back to his castle, where he got a book that told him to go to coordinates 0 0, where he and roier found a picture that eventually led to a page with the following information

jaiden spoke to foolish, and he lied to her, and told her that cucurucho had given him the option to either arrest pac and mike OR kill richarlyson. this did not happen. jaiden went back to cellbit and roier and gave them this information, so for now, foolish is out of suspicion from cellbit.

cellbit decoded that the "LAST SEEN AT" letters probably mean coordinates (67, 6393) and he's planning on going there with roier to see if they know what this missing item or creature might be

----------------------- Edit about two hours later (yes, im still here. it's 5 am for me. what has this server done to me)

cellbit and roier went to the coordinates, there he found a new book with more information, and two sudoku puzzles that together gave him the code to a locked chest. in the chest he found a brown sharestone that took him to a new location where after a few more enigma enrichment gave him a new book that indicates that "something is going on" and that "whatever hope you have left will die along with you"

maximus explained to badboyhalo what happened with elquackity and the threats that he did to him. this led to bad saying the need to capture elquackity and lock him up -he also implied that he knows how to stop him from teleporting- and if needed interrogate him by any means necessary to get information about where real quackity is and what is going on with him

bad's trust in anyone is basically non-existent after what happened with foolish helping the federation to get pac and mike. my landduo heart is shattered.
