Why is he grey, like hes not even an ashy brown but GREY
I’ve seen dark toned people in manhuas so I didn’t think too much of it. There’s also characters with different skin that isn’t the norm, so grey wasn’t really something I hate on. I just think of it as something fantasy-like. I’m POC and have dark tone, I get called too dark or tanned by my own people.
When you said Hoyo, I immediately knew lmao. Honestly even this character in this story is darker than their characters combined. I saw the debate and argument with the skin tones there. That is completely understandable, I get where the anger is coming from.
Who can define proper in fiction? That’s my point. Here it’s just a story the author made, we don’t really know if this is a pattern in author’s works. But hoyoverse is literally basing places off reality and the people too, like Sumeru for example, but the skin tones aren’t diverse which is misrepresentation.
Someone let me know if they have reconciled or made progress in their relationship so I can read it and feel fulfilled, or if they haven’t, let me know when they do.
spoilers:
dude u might be in for the long haul. there's no positive progress in their current relationship (kinda the opposite tbh). last time i checked the raws they were still going over their backstory as little kids (diff from this current high school backstory). kid xin and lau r very cute tho i recommend u check out the raws. so far its been:
- 1 more chapter of this backstory
- scene in the present where shit goes down (don't wanna spoil too much)
- another flashback to them as kids before their brother and sister died. despite being backstory its not boring at all and it satisfied my desire to see lau and xin just being happy and cute together for once. there's also a lot of lore being dropped which is intriguing.
