miHoYo just gave Emilie from Genshin Impact the birthday art, and it’s just wow. The official tweet caption says: She’s walking through a park with a fluffy little creature coming up to her, all about warm sunlight, pollen in the air, sweet flower scents, and so much more poetic stuff. Truly gorgeous. We are talking about next-level vibes.
Now…alright, the Genshin crowd—the responses are all over the map. Literally all over the damned place.
Some players are loving it. You get comments like “so pink so pretty,” from Yumemizuki mizuki Corner or from Ahp🐈⬛===, “This is so beautiful what.” The art is being highly appreciated by a good number of aesthetically inclined fans. Others, even, have called it the “lowkey most beautiful b-day art so far,” according to user deadgaskarth. And they’re not wrong—the art has that soft, dreamy vibe that is just chef’s kiss.
But then…there’s the other side. Oh boy.
Apparently, someone named Aino is making the rounds. There are just tons of comments all over the place asking for Aino art and demanding justice for Aino with clapping emojis and everything. From what I take from the comments, Aino isn’t playable yet, so she doesn’t get birthday arts. But the players are salty about it anyway.
Then comes the whole… Emilie appreciation squad versus haters drama. There are comments that call her “the strongest character nobody has,” which actually sounds kind of sad if you think about it. User Stale Cheetoz called her an “underrated character fr” and reckoned that “you never hear anyone talk about Emilie,” which may very well be a reason why some people replying don’t even seem to recognize her as a character. User fleabagthehag flat out asked, “Is this a new character?” Pfft, helpless; that’s gotta sting for an Emilie fan.
But wait, there is more drama. Players are calling her “Dottore slayer” with someone literally praying she’ll “end dottore by incinerating him to dust.” Sounds metal as hell. Then haters like OzawaShuri continue “a hater until she does end him,” which is… commitment, I guess.
The weirdest part, though? Some rogue crypto scam commentary amidst all this? User rex / amos 🎇 talking about how they got hacked, lost all their crypto, and now need help restoring their wallet? What on earth has been going on here anyhow?
Honestly, this Genshin community stays wildin’. You got beautiful artwork dropping, and instead of just appreciating it, they’re fighting about other characters, demanding justice for unreleased NPCs, and talking about cryptocurrency scams. It’s chaos but, you know, entertaining chaos.
However, what really gets me is how divided the reactions are. Some players really do love Emilie and are celebrating her birthday with happy comments and heart emojis. Others are taking the occasion to whine about how much attention other characters aren’t getting. And then, some apparently don’t even know who she is despite her inclusion in the game.
The original tweet itself is actually really sweet, talking about simple untainted warmth being more precious than elegant gifts, inviting players to give the fluffy little creature a good pat—it’s wholesome content for which the miHoYo social media team is revered. Oh, and they even direct people toward their TikTok account for more Emilie vids and GIFs. Cross-promotion wins!
Yeah… but community response will never be simple with Genshin. It’s always a mixture of appreciation, demands, complaints, and off-topic nonsense. At least the art is pretty—and which seems like something everyone agrees on. Even the haters aren’t hating on the artwork; they’re hating everything surrounding it.
Well, happy birthday, Emilie, I suppose? Walking through the park arm in arm with your fluffy buddy while the fandom debates everything else; that is a pretty good time. Classic Genshin Impact community behavior: nice things can’t exist without someone throwing mud on them. Well, that makes for an entertaining spectacle to watch from afar.
