Honestly, I agree with your opinions of Sandrone's design. I feel like she lost a lot of uniqueness to her design with the short skirt and detached sleeves. Pulonia, her original mecha, has also become a fan favourite so him being removed from her kit was really a missed opportunity.
And since we are talking about hot takes, I'll add my own too 😂( As caroline said, pls be nice guys)
-  I personally think the character designs in Natlan have a lot of thought behind them and cultural references, even if they look modern. Citlali's design was especially packed with references to Citlalicue, the Aztec goddess she was inspired by!
- Fontaine archon quest was good, but only peaked at the end in Masquerade of the Guilty. The fortress part was especially boring (though seeing Wriothesley so often made me kick my feet and giggle lol) Ps. I also think Siegewinne is EVIL, Caroline, u are not alone, that Melusine cannot be trusted.
- People mischaracterize Zhongli too much as an archon who does not care about Liyue, which always irks me 😭 This man spent over 6000 years protecting Liyue, used his flesh and blood to make mora, which he originally used as a building material to make shelter for people during the archon war, and only faked his death because he feared that Liyue will not know how to function if he were to die and wanted to test their capabilities without his guidance, even if it took risks, and would step in immediately if they failed, there is no way he does not care abt his nation!
- Hoyo does not give enough attention to Flins. Yes, I know he is supposed to be a mysterious gentleman but you cannot explain to  me otherwise why they do not include him in events at all, or put any major focus on him or how powerful he truly is in the Luna archon quests but the first one. Aino, Ineffa, Nefer and Jahoda have been in EVERY main event for a patch, and seeing such a crucial character to the story being left out for the past 6 or so patches was not fair. Hoyo just hyped him up only to forget about him after his release patch. (Maybe this is just my favouritism, coming from a Flins fangirl,lol)
- Mavuika is not a badly written character. She pretends to act perfect, putting on a brave face to her people to help them feel hopeful in times of war that she is always there for them, hence why she seems off of why she is so "mary- sue coded". In the short film "Sunset" on the Genshin youtube channel, we clearly see her drop her perfect hero mask and shows vulnerability, that she too is scared of losing the war and not being the leader Natlan needs well enough.

Omg Im so sorry for writing so much haha, I just feel like I need to vent out my hot takes as well, and I feel like this is a safe space for me to do so . And again, this also just MY hot takes and opnions 😅 Anyway, thanks for the tingly video, Caroline, lovely content as always ❤❤

slow but steady, lets be real. meta players struggle as much as everyone does on their builds and it takes time to get good stats so don't worry, its a game and your supposed to have fun with it, not to stress out with it.

Hot take: how are we showing Alice in the beginning of nod Krai’s trailer to not release her till the next region Genshin :( .

Hoyo should’ve given Sandrone some cute bloomers if they wanted to shorten her skirt that badly. I was so in love with her OG outfit, mainly because it had some uniqueness and it reminded me of black butler lol. I also wish they gave her puffy sleeves… If they had done that + bloomers with her new design it would’ve looked nicer and not be another generic design. Anyways, I agree with basically all of your other takes!! We’re two minds alike lol

i couldn't agree more about Sandrone. I feel like Hoyoverse doesn't really care about the criticism anymore, they just do whatever they want because it'll make money either way.
it's such a shame because i absolutely loved her old design, but after the redesign and Pulonia being gone, the character kind of lost her essence for me 💔

You have one of the best whispering among all the asmrtists i know

Sandrone’s design is Meka because she IS a Meka, same as the robots in Fontaine. The person who made her invented Meka as a whole.

34:38 WE NEEEED a vid of repeating the beginning/ending parts it's always so tingly

That's really good damage, you put so much effort into it. It's incredible.😮😮

Omg i love this concept do more

C6 just get an actual functioning sandrone beam is just crazy. Neuvillette got his beam built into his kit for free! This is ridiculous

Commenting before i fall asleep this time (meaning i haven't seen all the video)
But wanted to say that I'm happy to help! I know motion sickness sucks, so I don't mind lending a hand!

But shoutout to the new Stellar Reactions. Also, Beidou and Diana are getting buffs with Stellar as well (don't know if you caught that later in the video, but I'll probably be asleep by then!)

Sleep well all!

I like sandrones new color palette much more than the old design, but the skirt could be longer. I’m also very confused as to why people are so upset the laser beam is locked behind C6. Like are constellations not supposed to make a character better? Is that not the entire point of them? So many other characters have animations locked behind constellations yet nobody cares. Feels forced imo.

Your damage's wayyyy better now!

loved the concept !

I love how you have the courage to say hot takes because I honestly would be so scared 😔. Anyways ur amazing Caroline and remember to stay healthy during this summer season!!! 🫶

OMG ANOTHER POST ANOTHER NIGHT OF REST! Also I so agree I am so disappointed with Sandrone I really wanted to pull for her, but her outfit is way to short and chopped, and her playstyle is clanky, AND YOU NEED HER C6 TO DO HER LASER!? Anyway thanks for the amazing tingling feels, love you bunches Caroline 😭❤️. also WHAT HAPPENED TO PULONIA was he shipped to New Youk or some crap, like he was one of my favorite parts about her! I am actually so disappointed in HoYo for Sandrone, they screwed up so flipping bad, her design, her playstyle, it so cropped and clanky, I actually loved her og design it was one of my favorites in the entire game, like wth HoYo… BUT your whispers made her problems float away thank you so much for these videos, I love to hear feedback on games and books, it really helps me feel like I’m not the only one hating, in a way I guess, thanks anyway girlie 😊❤😂

The close up whispers are so tingly

Thank you! Caroline for your asmr. Now I can sleep well 😌 ☺️

Hai early, I love your rambles and farming and some of these are just the truth. Thank you for the amazing video Caroline 🩵
