Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:

The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition

The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

Ok but imagine genshin and hsr mcs switch places for a day, the chaos hsr mc would wreak upon teyvat, they waltz up to enemies and just bonk them on the head with a baseball bat because peace was never an option no matter what universe

ok but the trailblazers shouldn't be let out to roam around an open world like teyvat, no one would be safe

can you imagine those raccoons being out in nature?? the boar and bird population would never recover

them gliding??? omg,,, they wouldn't bother getting a gliding license and would just fly around illegally

meanwhile everyone over in hsr are pleasantly surprised at how helpful and kind lumine and aether are (and how clean they are)

this? this is everything

#basically every time catra says hey adora

Whoever in the Star Rail team thought of adding a minor "story line" where the Trailblazer is obsessed with looking at trash cans with March 7th and Dan Heng as the unwilling audience is a GENIUS and should be given a RAISE

Bonus: Now they can bond over staring at trash cans
