problem with peniscony is that its just a gathering place not an actual Home for most of the key players in the peniscony quests so even if say we go back there it doesnt guarantee a churin cameo.

as for when hes coming back.. eh im unenthused abt b00tie plotline and i would rather he go after oswaldo as part of diamonds "private army" than ahvictim on a path of revenge. i mean he is well within his rights to do so and its understandable but like. cliche as it sounds taking revenge wont get his ppl back so i don't see the point? he doesn't even seem to be the type to fight against evil so others wont get harmed anymore either.

STILL i think he does want to take down oswaldo partly due to being a natural enemy of him in ipc (aka being a stoneheart loyal to diamond) but also maybe even some pettiness in him to get back at the man who cause him suffering but even then i dont see him as the type to be of all consuming anger that revenge is his priority. hes not going on a quest of righteous anger and going scorched fucking earth here even tho so many of his fans want that

sunday did ask him abt being angry at the world and wanting to see it burn and his answer seemed to me like the world is cold and uncaring towards my suffering so i would treat it the same in turn but hes not actively seeking out its destruction.

i would rather him show up with other stonehearts ans know more abt the work dynamics like SID is so interesting diamond is so interesting and i think they're all freaks i hope we see them again

like...unfortunately.... zilch. this is why i am such a hater for bonkai expies, they are the devs darlings like there is absolutely no reason for them to occupy the entire 3.x patches and yet here we are. and tbh I don't even have much hope for the filler events like its fucking grim that the story events are almost always tied to the msq so I cant even bank on them and I'm sure the story events are gonna be abt ampho. good grief I'm not even sure if we're gonna get jingyuan cameo like we usually do and I am pretty confident that he's one of the devs faves and yknow obligatory spotlight on space china but even then I just know theyre not gonna give him screentime. sowy for da negativity but I'm just hoping atp to actually give a shit abt the bonkai expies otherwise I'm gonna be bored out of my skull for over a year.

1. that hes a doomed to be a gacha character meaning I don't get to see him much unless hoyo decide to sell his banner again. good thing he sold well and got some attention despite being in the same patch as ms. raiden so he'll probably come more often
2. tacky ass sense of fashion
3. grown ass man using 🥺 in public!!!!
4. knows diamond will back his crazy ass so he probably gets off scot free whenever he does his shenanigans. like I know other stonehearts hate his ass because he refuses to carry the stoneheart title with dignity and instead starts a dance influencer career instead of the traditional capitalist hellscape career like idk being a stock bro
5. the fact that his sad backstory is front and center in 2.1 now ppl refuse to engage with him as a character beyond that and it also affects how they view other characters that interact with him. and like ok FINE I guess. its just my gripe and I'm not out here to tell ppl what they could do with their fan content. it's just not my cup of tea and I'm too tired in my day job to cook my own food (thanks capitalism) let me whine a bit

gosh like where do I even start? I don't have much fave hcs ATM but I've been pondering on some stuff
like how churin introduces himself not as sigonian but as an avgin specifically. he's proud of his origins sure but I also like to think he would like to separate himself from the other sigonians out of spite bc they did cast out avgins and left them to die.
I also think constantly think about how he feels slightly guilty for making avgins even more notorious after he scammed ipc twice. hc that he wishes ppl just attribute the scamming to just him specifically and not his avgin origins
Thinking some Thots as well if he would have wanted revenge on katicans himself? nobody knows the fate of katicans after the avgin genocide but god i understand why sunday had to ask if he wanted to destroy the world. if I found out I'm the last living person from my clan I will be going after their necks.
loosely connected to another hc of mine that jade gave him that earring. doesn't jade have ability to turn stuff to crystals? i kinda forgot where that was implied but I like to think that those are katicans. she didn't do it for churin specifically of course but it was state that ipc had been going against katicans already and was probably waiting for an excuse to wipe them out. I like to think after becoming a stoneheart and asking where the avgins where so he can help them, churin become lost and his next course was revenge. asked jade where they are and she just. shows the gem to him and gives it to him. god it's fucked up "kindness" from lady jade.

I CANT FIND MY THREAD OF FAVE CHURIN FICS gawd I'll get back to u if I ever find it
