People in the comments under this thread are calling Varka sexist when Jean has been in charge of Noelle's evaluation and promotion in his absence? Not only that, but he was thinking about Noelle's knightly titles AND trying to get her a gift despite not seeing her in ages. W/e.
As vezes eu me pergunto, a noelle é tão esforçada, a bichinha tá a 5 anos se humilhando tentando ser dos cavaleiros de favonius e não comsegue, porém o surtado do lohen cheio de red flag conseguiu... o varka tem algo a dizer?

Got a glimpse of Lohen's preload lines about Varka, and oh boy, the EN localization team absolutely butchered them. Get ready for another wave of misogyny allegations...

Varka special guest w/no second anemo. The balance team hates him. So much marketing, content, and love from the other teams just for them to do stuff like this and make him look even weaker. they're setting him up for failure... 🥲

The way people are reacting to this tier list this person made for fun, with "how is Varka on the same level as the Gods???" when we were outright told he was on the same level as the Gods and Capitano, genuinely confuses me. Why would he not be up there? 🙁

Fun detail: Varka likely trusts her as much as he does because she reminds him of Rosaria, who grew up in a harsh environment just like her. Not only can he recognize her competence, but he also sees her as a bandit-adjacent mirror of his adopted daughter... 🥹

VARKA IS SAVED!!! WE'RE SO BACK! REAL TEARS!!! 😭
6.6 New Set ◎2-Piece Set: Increases Energy Recharge by 20%. ◎4-Piece Set: If the wearer has completed Witch's Ordeal, after using an Elemental Skill, they gain the "Call of Heavenlight" effect: based on the wearer's element type, all nearby party members gain a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus for that element for 20s. This effect can be triggered even when the wearer is off-field. Elemental DMG Bonuses from identical sets do not stack. When the party has the "Arcane Revelation" effect, "Call of Heavenlight" upgrades to "Hymn of Mundane Glory," granting an additional Elemental DMG Bonus based on the on-field character's element type, and both bonuses increase to 40%. Bonuses of the same element type do not stack. -Via X1 #GenshinImpact

I'm so sorry Kirara Genshin Impact you were stuck in my head for 13 and a half minutes as "dendro box kitty" and I couldn't think of your name until the last few minutes. I will remember you first next time. (The link: sporcle.com/games/CrayolaPha…)

"Clocking" and it's him undervaluing Varka's hard work in the office & the effort it took him to get to where he is today. Varka takes on an unreasonable amount of desk work for someone who didn't sign up for or get the opportunity to study for that part of the Grand Master role.
not him clocking varka's ass goodbye

My take on this. (I excluded characters I haven't formed opinions on yet)

Overall a good thread, with one small flaw that is already pointed out in the comments, but he's NOT a slacker even when it comes to paperwork. He's just okay with putting things off for a while until they actually NEED to be done. & Sometimes the workload goes overboard.
hot take! n overdue thought i dislike male incompetency as much as the next person but i feel like the "varka is a slacker" is overexaggerated? in the sense that yeah, he puts off paperwork but bc he doesnt like doing it; but when it comes to combat, he's the first to FIGHT FOR

An underappreciated part of Varka's quest is how it further hammered in the meaning of "home". Even after having gotten lost in an unfamiliar land, what brought him home wasn't just his desire to return. He'd already been homesick for years. After staying abroad for so long, it-

isn't beyond imagination to think that his memories of what it looked like weren't as vivid as they were on the day he set off. But he did remember the people he mattered to. His emotions reached them, and theirs reached him. At the end of the day,

It's not the fact that you live a place that anchors you to it, but the people who remember you and pray for your return in your absence. Their wishes call you back where you belong, no matter how long-lasting or impossible the return journey may seem.🩵

It goes to show just great of a character Varka is when his sales manage to match/surpass those of the most meta-relevant characters around. This isn't to say they aren't great characters, but his personality and looks alone made this happen. It sure wasn't his meta hype. Sadly.

GOOD THREAD!!
this is my fave varka joke because varka is acutely aware of how people perceive him and instead of refuting it outright he just plays up on it to fuck with ppl. traveler and paimon do have a nasty habit of assuming things (esp assuming the worst of ppl)

I've seen a recent sentiment going around of people starting to hate Jean because of all the forced Varka hate, so I'm here to remind you: DON'T. She cares about him. She knows she's overstepping sometimes and that she's perhaps doing too much, but she's not doing it out of-

a leader. He wants her confidence in herself to grow. He wants her to understand that she's already doing enough even without her constantly going above and beyond to help. They're both friends. Sure, they throw verbal jabs at each other and point one another's weaknesses, but-

That's exactly what friends do. If you like Varka, you should like Jean too. & You should want to see her succeed. I look forward to her character arc reaching its conclusion now that Varka, and most of the knights are around to support her in this endeavor! We don't hate Jean!😤
