So, MiHoYo or HoYoverse as they are now generally referred to has just made a really impressive tweet via the Genshin Impact official account and is certainly the main topic among players. Inviting the one and only tone-deaf bard, Venti, the tweet is essentially a slow whisper, “Traveler, you can take a break from research, come hang out with an old friend.” Sounds uncomplicated and direct, doesn’t it? But nothing goes that simple in Genshin’s realm. It also comes with the hashtag #GenshinLunaIII which is the main event going on at the moment. They do offer a link for further information but the mood is such that if one were to have a Scottish picnic, drink, and perhaps surprise, that would be the situation. Typical Venti!
Nevertheless, what amazes most about the Genshin community is that even a cute, peaceful moment can be transformed instantly into a thousands of different discussions, requests, and inside jokes. The responses to this tweet are nothing less than a crazy ride, just like a perfect snapshot of the community’s brain on any day. The drink is not the only thing, It never is.
The shippers were the first ones to rush in. Oh my God! The shippers just went nuts. A netizen, MidnightTheKitten, does not hesitate and goes “AWW THEY’RE ON A DATE” with several heart eyes next to it. And this just triggers a whole chain of reactions. Somebody is tagging their buddy with the words “COME QUICKLY. New HeaVen crumbs released.” HeaVen, for those unacquainted, is the ship name for the Traveler (Aether) and Venti. So the little picnic is taken as major canonical proof. Another user, Windeliaa_, is looking and seeing Paimon and Dvalin in the picture and howling, “SO THEY’RE BASICALLY ON A PICNIC DATE?? OMG DVALIN PAIMON PLEASE JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE.” The excitement is around, and to be honest? It is kinda cute.
The next group, discussing the practical issues, was the one opposing the romance. This is where the community’s long-suffering complains come up to the surface. User Cyberfox64 is on “DAY 485 of asking to add data transfer of servers.” This means a year and a half of repeating the same request in tweets. Commitment! Another user, FentonHardyFan, finds himself in a really specific crisis: “Has anyone else lost their Mondstadt Hashbrowns recipe??? I literally can’t make them anymore.” That’s the kind of extremely specific bug that makes gamers insane. And then come the banner requests. “Klee banner When?” asks Black_Hole_9000. “Colombia announcement when, Paimob?” asks another one, referring to a desired server location. And then there’s tkm_chongyun who is begging in Spanish, “Quiero un drink con la skin de chongyun genshin porfavor haz algo bien” which translates to “I want a drink with the Chongyun skin genshin please do something right.” The craving for character skins is always there, a constant whisper in the background.
In addition, there is nothing but sheer happiness. “We are being fed 😭💙🙏” tweets Ayanarinashi, accompanied by the crying emojis that represent happiness. “This is what we called balance diet” is another user’s comment, ismer__eel, who shows food and a juggler emojis. They are just pleased to receive new art and a nice moment. And web3kendoe articulates the feeling perfectly: “Venti’s picnic paradise after Duolingo grind? Count me in for that surprise!” It’s the mix of relatable meme culture and game excitement that makes it so attractive.
But hold on, what was I saying? Oh, right, the actual event. The #GenshinLunaIII event. This tweet is one of the event’s highlights. It is a huge in-game research event where you help the researchers. Venti’s message is a typically delightful way to slightly nudge the gamers and to make them partake in the event probably with some primogems or loot as the bait. The ‘nice surprise’ may simply be some event rewards. But the way it has been presented—as a request from a character people love—makes it work. It doesn’t feel like a chore reminder. It feels like a game buddy just checking in. That is the marketing magic of HoYoverse right there.
Nonetheless, the chaos in the replies is the real deal. It is a deeply invested community, for better or worse. They are seeing romantic hints in pixels, reporting lost recipes of hashbrowns and begging for quality-of-life updates—all under the same tweet. It is messy, it is loud and it is very human. This vibrant community engages across platforms like PlayStation and Xbox.
