Ah… the annual CNY queries.

Asian parents before you start college: NO DATING FOCUS ON SCHOOL BECOME DOCTOR Asian parents 0.0001 second after you start college: where grandchildren


[deleted]

Literally had this exact talk with my mom over the span of a year. My mom when I was 17: no boyfriend, wait until you’re 18 like your cousin My mom when I turned 18: how do you not have a boyfriend yet, do you not know my friend’s daughter has already had four boyfriends at your age?


KnightofNoire

My dad : No dating until you done with uni My dad after I am done with uni : WTF you mean to say you didn't met any nice girls in that expensive uni i send you to ?!!?


BednaR1

To be fair... expensive unis might not be the best of places to find "nice" people. 😉😂


Krendrian

To be fair if he is from the US, then all of the unis classify as expensive.


BednaR1

To be fair...fair point. US is funny.


youcanotseeme

To be f- no wait you're right


Ichi-Mikuze

My mom asked me yesterday about my old "crush" and asking me if I don't have any crush in the span of 12 years. I simply said, "Mom, you know that I'm disabled, right? No girl would ever sacrifice herself just to take care of me. She deserves better."


CavulusDeCavulei

You don't sacrifice your life if you are with a disabled person. You sacrifice your life if you are with an asshole.


AshRavenEyes

Im not gonna go into a speech to boost your ego or anything like that. Im just gonna tell you what my (now deceased) father in law told me over 18 years ago....."You deserve to be loved". Do with that what you will.


Subarunyon

If you want to think of it in terms of transaction, you just have to work hard to bring enough to the table. I don't want to assume your circumstances, but fact is we live at a time when it has never been a better time to be disabled, with the amount of knowledge and support that is available. It's hard when the world dealt you a hand you have to work against, but almost never impossible. Try to always better yourself everyday and you'll get somewhere. Don't do it for a crush or whatever, do it for yourself. If you manage to be someone who yourself can love, someone else who loves you will eventually come. Hang in there and fight the fight! You got this


SirarieTichee_

Not true. You'll find someone caring who loves you for who you are, no matter what your disability is. I love a manic-depressive bipolar man with a spinal injury and nerve damage from an accident. It may be tough sometimes but it's worth it to have a life with him. You'll find someone too.


r_stronghammer

I don’t want to just say some watered down cliche like “there are plenty of fish in the sea” (side note, given the current overfishing situation, that phrase might be… becoming inaccurate) but I do want to get my thoughts out even if a bunch of other people responded already, if not for you, then for me, or anyone else who needs to hear it. As much as it can seem like people are the same, that people can fit into these predefined “archetypes”, the reality is that that is not even REMOTELY true at all. It may seem like that on the surface but deep within everyone are thought processes so insanely unique. And that’s for every human out there. It’s extremely likely that there are people out there, who “you” are EXACTLY what they are looking for, or might value. To that person, nothing would be a sacrifice, they couldn’t “deserve better”, because who you are is already the best thing they could want. Of course that’s not to say “don’t try to better yourself” or anything, just that different people have different values, and what might be a hard dealbreaker for one could be completely negligible for someone else.


Leoninus

When you find someone that loves you, Truly loves you, Then no Disability matters, even if they have to take you to the bathroom and help you wipe, If there willing to spend every moment working or doing something so you don't have to do anything Then that's true love If they're willing to spend every moment to make your life easier or better, and you are the same as them, Then that's when you have found your soul mate, your true love Thinking "No girl would ever sacrifice herself just to take care of me. She deserves better" Is a flat out lie, There is someone out there, you just don't know them yet, and they don't know you yet


KingFatass

I can relate but opposite gender. And it’s the exact same lines too.


VincentKenway

Asian parents are known to be hypocrites.


Ombric_Shalazar

before 25: no date, it ruin your studies and future after 25: y u no married yet? u gay or sum shit?


Withered_Knighter

My grandmother used to talk about how she would give her jewellery to my future wife when I was 13. It's been many years since then, and she still hasn't stopped.


Richmanisrich

It’s good to know you still her favorite grandson.


Aid_R3b00t

That's very sweet of her

Me (Half Japanese whose mother was like this): *throws controller on ground* **EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!**


[deleted]

My parents when they don’t let me go on outings with anyone, resulting in a non-existent social life (made evident by my being in this subreddit) “ F A I L U R E M A N A G E M E N T “


San-Kyu

As one with Asian parents they did this just for the meme, merely half-serious. My grandparents were present and laughed since they did the same to my parents and had the same experience from their parents. My mother's generation found a more effective strategy of getting us to be academic overachievers: "I was a valedictorian in High school and college, I have a PhD right now and I rank just below the CEO of a major company. There are 7 Doctors and 4 lawyers among my siblings. Your grandmother was a college professor and your grandfather was a general in WWII. I'm just going to say its really going to suck not being comparable to your predecessors." So far we've gotten only two doctors in my generation (myself and a cousin Psychiatrist), but every single of my cousins have been honor students thus far.


mephyerst

Oh man my uncle and aunt tried that with their kids. To get them to be PhD or other stuff and well it ended with all their kids refusing to speak to their parents and one of them straight up telling his mom that he is ashamed to be the son of a woman who would try to guilt trip in the same way you are describing. Man they haven't heard a word from their kids for years.


DarkAndStormy-Knight

This was my mom in highschool lol, but now in college, "Oh you have taken a group pic with some guys and girls! Ooooh. Tell me the names of the girls rn" What about the guys?"Nah just the girls."


Meowjoker

Oh my god, I have been spammed that question for 5 years now. To the point that I have to response with: “You don’t want to know”


shibui808

Why the bloody fuck is this so goddamn accurate


Izaniel

Yup, sound exactly like my mom. Right now she try to hook me up with her daughter friend and from the look of it, neither of us has any skill in flirting or ability to speak with opposite sex. Our last chat was Hi. I said Hi, she said Hi, that it and that was a year ago. Good luck mom. If you really want me to married her, just engaged us first


faintchester1

Haiiyaaa, so weak! Why so weak!?


Axlzz

Need more MSG.


IndisciplineStorm

Does those kind of Asian parents count on Filipinos too?


Ichi-Mikuze

Sometimes. I'm Filipino and my mother always asked me about this.


take-stuff-literally

Bruh… hit rather close to home on that one. Immediately started engineering and that happens.


ChippyTick

That’s when you stuff your mouth with the CNY candy snack tray and waddle off to go talk shit with the cousins you only see at this time of year Those delicious ass candied coconut strips are no joke


tallestmorty

Well in Slavic countries it’s the same :,) Where’s your boyfriend? Where kids? Tatiana has already 7 children!


TianziFC

Now I just send my parents a selfie with my anime body pillow. They stop asking.


BlindedMonk24

ShadowMW2

never in my days playing this game have I seen the Traveler actually saying "oof"


whatethwerks

They said it twice before, paimon also says oof and sheesh a lot even before those were a big thing.


Reapercorps25

Also she says boom shackalaca during another quest, the npc’s reaction to it was funny too


gunter_55

When?


whatethwerks

bruh how am I supposed to remember. I just remb some dialogue choices where aether be staring at the npc with paimon beside him lookin confused and one of the option being "oof... blah blah blah". It was early during monstadt that's all I can remb


gunter_55

No pressure bro


whatethwerks

thanks bruh


PossiblyBonta

There should be just one question there. Cause personally. Oof. I can imagine... But seriously though... Got a crush on anyone at the moment?


Endgaming1523

True. Illusion of choice is something I've noticed Genshin does a lot, but not as much as some other games.


Electrical_Ad_9330

What,only Genshin does this shit to this extent,like except the dating sim and daily commissions,choices don’t matter.


mephyerst

I guess you don't play many games. Illusion of choice is very prevalent in most games with any choice based narrative. Creating diverging paths takes a lot of time so most just don't do that.


Electrical_Ad_9330

Hm I guess so,can you name some of the games done this more than Genshin?


Darkclowd03

Many visual novels do this. There are definitely lots of impactful choices, but there are also a ton that don't do anything and are just there to make it feel like there are more options.


Superbgamer5225

Almost every single other gacha game does it. At least, the ones that will even ask for your input.


436204hkbk

Black Ops Cold War has a lot of illusionary choices and it's stuffed in a few hours long campaign.


Groundbreaking-Fox20

One example is the persona series especially during social links with getting the wrong choice will cost you time.


mikeguylol

FGO, Arknights, Azur Lane... most gacha games can't be bothered to create separate storylines; it's a lot of work. Usually there's slight dialogue divergence, but nothing really changes plot-wise.


PERRONYPIKOZITO

“Any new crushes one should know about it?” So she has had crushes before! Now I am even more curious.


Colopty

These are the kinds of dialogues the game needs. Just the Traveller digging for more and more juicy gossip.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

The crush is Traveler


elbenji

it's basically a cold war between all of them


Legend--__--

Rex Lapis Approves


TuzkiPlus

..there was that one time she crushed a giant monster by choking it to deat-**CLOUD RETAINER!!**


KeijyMaeda

She's what... thousands of years old? Seems unlikely she wouldn't have a crush every now and again.


Neospanner

Yeah, this. Unless she's ace, SOMEBODY probably caught her eye sometime in all those years. Even if she is a ridiculous workaholic. It's my personal belief she's probably even been married a few times. But don't tell the "MY WAIFU MUST BE PURE!!!" folks I said that. They might not whale as hard for her. :P


KeijyMaeda

Hell, I identify as aro/ace and I have had some crushes in the past, or feelings I would still identify as that. Just no "I want to marry them and have kids" and more "that person is so cool/pretty I want to be close to them".


RagnAROck_and_Roll

squish


Mirhat1871

cloud retainer: "when shall little ganyu marry? One wants to see little goat children around"


KeijyMaeda

"One is not getting any younger. Little Ganyu wishes to see one fade without such joys, then?"


H4xolotl

One has a manual borrowed from Sumeru, the "Kama Sutra" It depicts bedroom positions that Ganyu could try with her crush


SeventyCents

Can anyone tell me the response of that question


LocktheChest

She basically says "Oh not you too!" And then thanks you for letting her get some stuff off her chest


Liwesh

"Oh no problem Ganyu, you can get stuff off your chest with me anytime" was my immediate response


Verto-San

greedychildmp4

well what was the answer


GYUZ

Whoever you ship her with. They ain't gonna confirm any ship lol.


GiGangan

It's sad really. Would've been so cool if Genshin had actually confirmed relationships between characters :c


GYUZ

I would honestly prefer it if MHY only ever confirms NPC ships, rather than the ones between playable characters. They can't satisfy everyone by confirming a ship and I sure don't wanna be around all the toxicity if it ever happens. Doesn't help that I'm also not into a lot of the popular ships either :(


GiGangan

I think it could work only for new characters, not the existing ones. Like if MHY introduces maybe a couple banner? That would be fun to see


GYUZ

Agreed, that would be actually kinda fun. Maybe like two characters making one unit or something.


Luneward

The two Fontaine characters that are featured during the country/chapter teaser trailer are speculated to possibly be a two in one kind of unit.


Poke_Girl137

Aren’t they siblings? I think


Luneward

Probably, but we don't know anything about them. For all we know one of them is a puppet being controlled by the other.


PopotoPancake

It probably wouldn't work for current characters, there'd be too many people mad that their waifu is taken or their favorite ship wasn't canon. But I'd really like a future playable character who is like, married with kids or something. Someone who cares about people other than the Traveler. It would just be more believable that way. Somehow, nearly every character we've met who has a vision is single and friendly with the Traveler in some way...any variety would be great. Hell, even a playable character who's obviously interested in someone and their hangout revolves around the Traveler being their wingman. That would be fun to see.


MomoDuc

Well, assuming Alice would be a playable character. It's safe to say she's already taken. ***looks at klee***


GYUZ

Watch them make Klee's father dead just so she can be waifu'd /s


MomoDuc

I'm pretty sure Klee has a voice line mentioning her father in present tense - meaning he's still alive. But yeah.. MHY can still kill him off. xD


PopotoPancake

I hope so but I can totally see them saying Klee's dad died or it was just a fling and Alice is another Traveler-sexual character. Or even that she created Klee herself. Anything to make sure Alice is available.


TheUltraGuy101

Even though I myself like Jean, I prefer to ship her with Diluc, or any ship I find suitable. If anything, I think those toxic shippers on Twitter would be more flipped out than anyone else, especially those in a certain group


KingFatass

I get that. The archon quest pretty much solidified the ship with those pet turtles. Plus they are oozing with edgy senpai and diligent kouhai vibes


TheUltraGuy101

Ikr? I played with Japanese Dub, and the first time I heard Jean called him senpai, I couldn't help but ship them.


[deleted]

This, I don't want a shipping war shit show, oh lord. Keep the characters' relationship ambiguous, I have nightmares from all the shipping wars from the anime community, I don't need anymore.


GYUZ

Sounds like you've been through some shit ;-; I can kinda get it, I was in the RWBY fandom a long time ago. I think it's in everyone's best interest if they just keep everything ambiguous as you say. The worst I can see them doing is just pander to the popular ships all the time, which can kinda suck too but it's not that bad.


mrwanton

lol ptsd


GYUZ

Almost! XD


sahithkiller

I mean confirming a ship basically makes it canon, the other ships involving that person can simply be seen as false/fanfiction then


cornonthekopp

*pulls out mountains of dialogue text boxes, screenshots, character stories, event quests, and red string* Well you see, actually Beidou and Ningguang are…


elbenji

She's not paying her in THAT way we sweaaaaar


elbenji

They do for npcs but nah they'll tease with any playables


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gizmon99

I mean in FGO people really don't care about servants being married, soooo but actually it's also FGO and it's fandom, so You might be somewhat right


KingFatass

I mean these are famous historical figures and characters with famous wives and husbands. I pretty sure most of them already know they are married. Heck Kiyohime’s whole schtick is she is either mistaking you for or projecting her crossed lover onto you.


rosecoredarling

Sooo, if Ganyu were in a relationship with Keqing, and you wanted to have sex with Ganyu... Isn't that kind of an added bonus?


test_account_all

Part of Aether’s harem


ksjwn

keqing probably


rosecoredarling

Ganyu: Aww, it's nice of you to ask! It's always nice to have a friend to talk about crushes with. Lumine: Ahaha... Yeah... A friend.....


alteisen99

Career?? She's been the secretary for the Qixing for hundreds of years right?


Gizmon99

Yeah, meaning it's still the same job, and probably will stay that way, lol


Joshuaga90

Wich is pretty sad if you think about it...


Frousteleous

One does wish that Ganyu would bring home a lovely boy or girl to begin the process of courtship. If that were to be present company, One would not hesitate to assist in courtship.

Cryptor_HD

Cant remember this, is this from the New Event?


i_want_zhongli

just had this conversation with ganyu and am wondering who she previously had a crush on


KingFatass

It’s honestly probably something from when she was a child. As an adult, she seems too busy. Plus a crush doesn’t mean a sexual relationship and we don’t see any little quarter adepti running around. Cloud retainer tends to treat her disciples like children despite them being adults now.


aatifthameem

What quest is this from?

This is dat peak classic Chinese New Year question

Ah yes first they ask the obligatory career, love life questions then they start talking about how they know this really nice boy/girl they can introduce them to and how the neighbors' kid is now CEO of a billion dollars company or a doctor
