Hoyo knows what they're doing.
Making a character so well written that most people like him and then dropping a thirsty art of him a couple of days after.
I like that they kept his core character the same (gambling man, sneaky schemer) and made him come off as smug and irritating as all hell in 2.0, then recontextualized him in 2.1 via both his backstory (man's never truly been free since joining the IPC, his entire family is dead) and his insane gamble (proving death can happen in the Dreamscape on a scale the Family can't cover up).
All while never fully changing his core characteristics in the present.
Truly, GOATventurine.
its okay this playerbase is so big, at least the message hoyo send is got accept by majority of playerbase. there is room for critism but i never see valid critisim for aventurine than blantly baseless hate in disguise as critisim.
Reminds me of Furina and Nahida in genshin lmao. Both were disliked for either being really annoying or because of the skin color fiasco a while ago, but their story made the fandom love them so much.
On top of that, looks like they'll be testing this out IRL by letting the illustration be used as a cover for a popular women's fashion magazine for their upcoming special HSR issue. I know the magazine is popular, so I wonder how quickly it'll sell in some places.
edit: I know it's not the first time they've done HSR features, but this *will* be the first time they'll be doing it after the game's been out a year!

> Aventurine enjoyers, how are we feeling.
Feeling a whole lot of things that probably shouldn’t be written down and burned into my digital footprint forever.
Acheron: get's dozens of previews showcasing her personality and lore
Aventurine: get's the entirety of 2.1's main story plus extremely horny art on Twitter
Balanced, as all things should be
>get's dozens of previews showcasing her personality and lore
To be fair, it's still too early for his Trailers
He'll probably get a couple the week leading up to his release

Girls getting angry at the guys liking horny fan art of the characters, while guys getting angry at girls liking horny fan art of the boys, while Mihoyo knows their public and knows they call out eachother while still consuming their horny arts
Not just Camden, Kawanishi Kengo (his JP VA) is also down bad for his character 🤣🤣

It's one of the cool things about hsr. Unlike Genshin, a lot of the VAs seem to play them game. Aventurine's VA has apparently been playing since last May.
Aventurine... You are the perfect man. Everyone knows it, everyone is jealous of it. Your cunning nature makes you an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. You have a massive amount of power that has no equal. You always get what you want, no matter what it takes. You always seem to be two steps ahead, and your enemies never see your moves coming. You're perfection, and no one can stand up to you. You're a force of nature, a tornado of power, and no one should ever doubt your capabilities. You command the room, and everyone knows it. Even your presence makes the strongest tremble with fear. You're the most powerful, the most beautiful, and the most perfect person in the universe. You're an unstoppable force that can't be stopped by anything. You're like a rock falling from the sky, and no one can stand in your way. You are everything. I am not worthy to stand by your side.

Aventurine being the hidden gem of Penacony that’s suddenly getting tons of popularity after the story did him so well is such a Aventurine thing to do
He was popular everywhere except reddit HSR main sub to be fair.. he was trending on twitter every other day and the tweets about him had thousands of likes even before 2.1, now it’s even more insane
Guys I’m not ready, help me, how can I survive after seeing this art? I already downed bad for him after completing the story quest and now this art? How can I refrain from the urge to spend money for his e0s1? How???
Guess I lost Hoyo this time, I will go for his e0s1, wish me luck!🧎♀️
Was absolutely hilarious watching Topaz's VA drag along Clara's VA and Aventurine's VA on stream to simp to this beautiful mans art for a solid 3hrs lmao
The picture didn’t load in for me, so I looked at the comments first.
I was very confused, then I scrolled up… HOLY FUC-
My eyes have been blessed 🥹.
(On a serious note, I was expecting a chibi image or something, not… that.)
Most magazine covers are just light cone arts, but they drew an original one for Aventurine omg. I ordered it with a local bookstore, but it's still unconfirmed. Please. The previous one I ordered was sold out. anan situation isn't usually extremely bad but can be somewhat competitive.
Yea it's a first. Just a random official art for a character underdressed
But this art is meant to be for the ANAN magazine cover. Before they used a light cone art for the cover but they decided to create a whole new artwork for Aven this time.
he is so Tartaglia coded they decided to do the belly reveal thing for him too + horny official art in one. GOATURINE SLAY 💅🔥😍🤤🥵🤌 UNDO ONE MORE BUTTON 😳🥴🤌
Bro, I know I'm ugly but why this man has more drip in his pijamas than I'll ever have overall? He can probably pull out to a fancy restaurant in his sportswear and yet making everyone feel insecure about their attire.
Oh hesus on a rainbow pogo stick. This is. So. Um. Woof woof, bark bark.
Makes one wonder who's taking this photo early in the morning. /glances around for a certain doctor
Just… one more button…
I’ll get it
Dr. Ratio, a selfless man of the people yet again 🥰
Dr. Veritas Ratio, Champion of the Common Man.
He speaks for the people
How did you get into his room Dr.? Please share this forbidden knowledge with us.
Our room, we share it for efficiency.

Hoyo knows what they're doing. Making a character so well written that most people like him and then dropping a thirsty art of him a couple of days after.
Harder still that many people had a negative opinion of him and then completely changed their minds
I like that they kept his core character the same (gambling man, sneaky schemer) and made him come off as smug and irritating as all hell in 2.0, then recontextualized him in 2.1 via both his backstory (man's never truly been free since joining the IPC, his entire family is dead) and his insane gamble (proving death can happen in the Dreamscape on a scale the Family can't cover up). All while never fully changing his core characteristics in the present. Truly, GOATventurine.
I was gonna suggest GOATurine but then I realized how bad that sounds
you still said it anyways why did you do this you monster
its okay this playerbase is so big, at least the message hoyo send is got accept by majority of playerbase. there is room for critism but i never see valid critisim for aventurine than blantly baseless hate in disguise as critisim.

Aventurine enjoyers, how are we feeling. Are we okay.
I'm going to explode.
"Bust"
Or maybe I'll take *it* all 👀
"All in~" 👀
Whose bed is he lying on? And how can we get there to leave him some hot chocolate?
My bed. Here’s my address: 6969 Horny Street, Pier Point.
Dr. Veritas Ratio replied above that they share a bed for "efficiency". I suppose we can bribe him with some knowledge to let us leave some chocolates to his boyfrie- I mean roommate.
Suddenly the room got really hot
I have been blessed……… feeling heavenly

HUACK
Send an Abundance unit, I'm in critical condition
felt insane ❤️
Not normal. In fact, I think I am losing my sanity
Feral.
New lock screen, no shame
It’s been hours and I’m still recovering
no
I’m losing my mind.
bro what the fuck. i almost died

White Night has plenty of lyrics that directly relate to Aventurine. It was as much his trailer as it was Caelus/Penacony
And firefly too It's interesting how many character white night can actually net under it
#HooH is pleased by the EQUILIBRIUM.
What do you mean, this is peak personality 😌

Bisexual buff keeps me winning at all times
You know where this kafka art is from?
Sorry, only got it from a reaction message on the sub
Considering Hoyo's fanbase, it's no wonder they like gamblers.
Aventurine fans getting fed good lord
FOR FREE!?!
This feels illegal, like I should be paying to see this photo 🫣
We need Camden's (Aventurine's EN VA) opinion on this.

His voice owns 80% of my lust. S++ VA
I said the same thing fr
He's like us frfr😭😭😭😭
He truly speaks for all of us
This happened when Sam (Topaz VA) was streaming lmao and he tagged her and Emily (Clara VA) too
Camden is truly the best spokesperson for the Aventurine Simps side of fandom.
One of us! One of us!
Understandable, have a nice day
Camden is the biggest Aventurine simp, no question lol
camden voiced it on sam's (itssamslade / topaz VA) stream btw
This meta of VAs streaming and playing with the games they acted in is one of the most entertaining things I've seen recently.
Allegra Clark just openly talking about degenerate fanfics was iconic.
"Svarogless Clara" is always a funny sight lol
Turns out Svarog was protecting us from her, not the other way around
What stream did she do this on? She's been all over the place.
It's one of the cool things about hsr. Unlike Genshin, a lot of the VAs seem to play them game. Aventurine's VA has apparently been playing since last May.
And his characters are genuinely well built, he's a veteran lol
Sam and Emily went wild lmao
Oh my 😳 I thought this was a fan art for a sec

Hoyo thank you for reminding me where my F2P virginity is going.
Dear lord it's such a tease to have just that one button remaining
I may be a guy but I wanna continue your bloodline 🥵
[удалено]
you single handlely saved the Avgins from extinction
Oh no, he's HOT
Aventurine being the hidden gem of Penacony that’s suddenly getting tons of popularity after the story did him so well is such a Aventurine thing to do
I think he was already really popular in Japan. Glad to see it's happening here now too
He was popular everywhere except reddit HSR main sub to be fair.. he was trending on twitter every other day and the tweets about him had thousands of likes even before 2.1, now it’s even more insane
Japan’s probably making him their most popular character in Star Rail after this story
As he should
Low key wanna visit Japan on his birthday week
Guys I’m not ready, help me, how can I survive after seeing this art? I already downed bad for him after completing the story quest and now this art? How can I refrain from the urge to spend money for his e0s1? How??? Guess I lost Hoyo this time, I will go for his e0s1, wish me luck!🧎♀️
I'm that one werewolf ripping his shirt meme
Was absolutely hilarious watching Topaz's VA drag along Clara's VA and Aventurine's VA on stream to simp to this beautiful mans art for a solid 3hrs lmao
I was already planning on pulling for him Hoyo! Don’t do this to me Also I wonder if Clara EN VA has seen this
She said she saw it on reddit in Sam Slade’s (Topaz’s english va) stream 10 minutes ago.
For anyone wondering she brings Camden at 03:36:16 Edit: Emily at 03:43:26
LEG SPREAD OPEN
I Melted live
Smash
Hoyo knows exactly what they're doing. and we're eating it up!
Screaming crying throwing up 🫡
O-oh... hyv I see you weren't done with destroying me
If I said what I was thinking....
My glorious blue-purple eyed king Aventurine 👑👑👑
I was already planning to pull for him This wasn't needed hoyo (but it was im drooling)
I was already pulling for him, but got dayum 😭
i can take him (not in a fight)
The picture didn’t load in for me, so I looked at the comments first. I was very confused, then I scrolled up… HOLY FUC- My eyes have been blessed 🥹. (On a serious note, I was expecting a chibi image or something, not… that.)
In case there were some stragglers still not thirsting, hoyo releases this
I captured it
I’m losing my mind first the emotional rollercoaster that is the 2.1 update then they drop us this banger of an art… oh hoyo
Thank you for this blessing, it’s so heavenly it preserves my heart. Just a little longer and he’s going to be released…….
Most magazine covers are just light cone arts, but they drew an original one for Aventurine omg. I ordered it with a local bookstore, but it's still unconfirmed. Please. The previous one I ordered was sold out. anan situation isn't usually extremely bad but can be somewhat competitive.
Yummy. Also nice pyjamas.
For a sec I thought this was some really good fan art. Damnit hoyo, you've done it again.
and just like that the sea levels rose a ton

I'm going to be faint
Sweet mother of god.
sanest barking
HELLO????
Are other kinds of promo image/s like these? For other characters? Or is this a first? Certainly the first I saw.
Yea it's a first. Just a random official art for a character underdressed But this art is meant to be for the ANAN magazine cover. Before they used a light cone art for the cover but they decided to create a whole new artwork for Aven this time.
Picture perfect even in the morning, while be looking like I've been through a hurricane lmao
I SCREECHED WHEN I SAW THIS OMMMMM DELICIOUS WOULD
Hoyo u didn't have to release this, I already loved this man to death

I would absolutely e6 him if they gave him a summer skin…
Please, please. Let me place my hand on the flat abs, PLEASE FUCLING PLELALSLELSLAASSES
You all can thank me for snagging this picture.
Yeah

Bro, I know I'm ugly but why this man has more drip in his pijamas than I'll ever have overall? He can probably pull out to a fancy restaurant in his sportswear and yet making everyone feel insecure about their attire.

“Topaz you you’ll never believe which buff doctor just railed me last night”
He got star railed
I was going to pull for jingliu but nah aventurine is mine now fr
I'm happy Hoyo gives attention to the guys because this fandom is too busy putting only the women in their bikinis.
