Wuwa Rover - Blog Posts

Trying out a header for this!!!

Long ramble ahead about a somewhat poly ship LMAO

Slight spoilers for the final part of the Huanglong storyline

But my bf and I, roleplaying and wuwa fanatics we are, have decided three weeks ago that it would be lovely for us to throw Female Rover into a sandwich with Jiyan and Scar as the bread.

It's so LOUDLY obvious that Scar is Rover's biggest simp regardless of the gender, and the fact of the matter remains that Rover will roast the mf to hell and back, but in the end kinda likes the fact that he keeps following her around and talking in her face whenever he's in close vicinity of her, like a very aggressive "OOOO, YOU WANNA KISS ME SO BAD~" type of ordeal, but Rover WOULD kiss him to shut up, no strings attached 😭

Plus, he'd be so annoying when Rover mentions Jiyan quite a bit, so much so that (at least my bf's portrayal of Scar would do this) he would visit Jiyan himself and... Have a little 'conversation' with him. Because JUÉ KNOWS that bro is possessive asf

Jiyan, he's deserving of a partner 100% after all this time he's served as a Midnight Ranger from the time when he was just a medic, to the current time where he's a General.

FROM THE MOMENT ROVER FIRST SAW JIYAN, SHE WAS ALREADY IN LOVE WITH HIM. SO THE FIRST TIME THEY SEE EACH OTHER IN PERSON WHEN THEY HAVE TO DEFEAT THE THRENODIAN? girl almost fell to her knees because LORD HAVE MERCY THAT BIG MAN'S GOT HER KICKING HER FEET

between Scar and Jiyan, Rover would not lead the both of them on, but she DOES act like a tsundere with Scar, and very much a little bit more pathetic with Jiyan because... WELL, IT'S JIYAN

due to the complexities of their whole dynamic, and because the guys wouldn't like each other, they'd agree to just share her because... Rover cannot decide and she's pathetic for the both of them

oh and Rover's nickname for Scar is 'Sexual Harasser'

AIGHT TIME TO DO MY ESSAY SOBS...

I have it in me to think that, at least for my Rover, she's all so cool and collected, but the second Jiyan's mentioned, she falters so hard and becomes so positively weak in the knees in the "SOB. WHY IS HE SO SWEET, COOL, STRONG, AND LIKELY A GENTLEMAN TOO—" way.

I'm just pathetic for the aero dragon general 😭

I have it in me to also think that she would secretly have a plush of Jiyan because she's secretly that pathetic and silly

I love silly girls

i miss him sm bro

Literally so dead and unmotivated

took a break from genshin btw and starting to play WuWa until GENSHIN HAD TO DROP THE JUICIEST BANNERS IN 4.7

WHYYYYYYYY

I'm utterly obsessed with this game so much, so here's my cool WuWa profile.

Ah, yes, protagonist's lore drop in side quest on gods forbidden island, my favorite!

Day 1: I don't know who I am? I don't know what I am?? I don't know where I'm from??? I confused????

Day 2:

it's 3 am

Now presenting, Rover-with-his-hair-down: a concept

This could apply to female Rover pretty decently as well, but probably with more white parts of the hair

I haven't really seen any hair-down art of the rovers yet so I decided to draw some >:D

(I made this before I went to bed on impulse so it's a bit messy)

SPOILERS FOR WUTHERING WAVES ACT 6: my issue with the reveal of [spoiler] isn't the fact that it even exists, but the fact that it doesn't mesh well with the game's art-style AT ALL.

The idea of Rover's Tacit mark being home to some kind of powerful entity that appears friendly but might have some sinister motives or unknown properties (because let's be real, even in its existing form, this guy is quite suspicious and we know nothing about it) is pretty cool.

But if you look at the existing animals in game, both enemies / echos and NPCs like dogs and cats, the game goes for a more realistic style for most of them. Some are cute, but most look more epic or badass and fit into the apocalyptic and gritty style of the game (even as the game itself wanders away from that). Additionally, all Tacit Discords thus far either mimic real creatures like wolves, bears, boars, or herons, or take the form of mutated humanoids that look deformed and warped, or take the form of mystical creatures, like the Morning Aix.

If they'd leaned towards more of those design elements, creating a sleek creature that still has some cute elements, I feel like this creature would have felt less out-of-place. Perhaps more of a bird-like or even dragon-like design, or a fluffy serpentine dragon (keeping the long fluffy ears and markings) would have worked better. Also making it walk on four legs instead of looking like a marketable plushie.

This isn't even touching on the reveal of this critter. It feels too sudden; I feel like it needed some more foreshadowing (which would have been easier without the story rewrites, yes) like the silhouette of its design being shown, or lore hints about Tacit Marks being home to some kind of conscious entity or power that isn't fully understood yet. Also, it would have hit harder if it felt like the Rover consciously was aware of this guy and summoned it—like if Rover had some kind of vision / hallucination / flashback montage or quick images flashing in their head. Instead it just feels like this guy popped out of nowhere. It also hurts the previous reveal of Havoc Rover, making them seem weak in comparison to this little furby looking guy.

ALSO its color scheme. Tacit Discords thus far seem to be most strongly associated with purple and gold, and Rover matches this, starting off with golden Spectro powers and moving to purple Havoc powers. SO WHY IS THIS GUY WHITE, BLUE, AND ORANGE??? Its color scheme also threw me off a lot 😭

So anyways, that's my take on the matter. What do you guys think?

inspiration is one hell of a drug

wuwa peak character design

(this post is mostly a joke i have tons of designs based off other ppls stuff and i know most of these design elements arent exclusive to hoyo i just find it funny)

dont forget jiyan looking like xiao and dan hengs long lost cousin, but he got jing yuans job

and verina looking like yao yao and nahida's secret sister

Doodled the Wuwa Rovers! <3 Been loving this game so far!

(If you saw me post this yesterday- I took it down cause I wanted to fix the male Rover's hair)
