    It's a running gag in the game that the main character loves diving in trash cans. The fans started calling the mc a raccoon because of it, and the devs started leaning into that gag more. It's a pretty big comedic trait of the main character now 😂

    Hey, I played Sparkle in this song (the "mother of the year" line was mine haha), and basically the context here is that Kafka (the purple-haired-girl character) "brought" the main character to life, it's thanks to her that they're alive. So some fans started seeing her as the mother of the main character. This, and... because of her design, some fans call her "mommy" ^^; Devs actually embraced that joke a few times too haha

    Lot of people in the comments saying "It's because the main character loves rummaging through trash cans", but i see none of them explain *why* they do that.
    The main protagonist of this game is a Trailblazer, basically a follower of a god/spirit of travel and discovery, and they are blessed by the power of this entity, granting them the ability to survive the vacuum of space, extreme temperatures, and more.
    However, a "side effect" of this blessing is that most Trailblazers develop a desire to seek out treasure. This desire varies from person to person, but our protagonist definitvely drew the short straw, as their "side effect" is *SO* intense that they effectively hallucinate trashcans to be as treasure chests, filled with potential wealth if they just keep sifting through enough trash.

    • @rodon265
      @rodon265 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +15

      I don't think that "because blessing" is actually the cause, this is not 40k (unless it was explicitly stated as the cause).
      My explanation is that its because they are the "player character", and we all know how players behave in any sort of exploration + looting games.
      See the sparks of "interactable object", B-line. So the devs basically decided the might as well run with it.

    5:05 That 'iron man' girl is Firefly, who has a crush on the player character (the racoon). She has a mech suit that she can summon at any time, but it doesn't normally look like that. In the song she's being neglected in favor of trash cans, and is trying to impress the PC with a trash can-like version of the suit. Just for the PC to develop a new hyperfixation on manholes instead.
    The manholes are also an actual thing in the game. Whereas the second planet Belobog is where the trash can joke started, there's an area in the fourth planet Penacony where you can interact with multiple manholes and get an achievement for finding them all.

    Some context here: This gray character is the Main Character from the game - Honkai Star Rail.
    When the game was released, they had a location full of trashcans that you are able to search through to find some staff
    As well as craft and use trash as item
    And through some time fandom created a joke that our MC is a chaotic raccoon obsessed with trash
    Devs liked this as well
    So now she is like that canonically

    Context is that in the first world you explore, you can interact with trash cans to collect things. This of course initiated dialogue from your companions about you becoming a dumpster diver, to which the community ran with it so hard, the devs decided to go with it to the point that there are trash can NPCs, collectables, and even the main protags are compared to raccoons as they just like trash. It's one of the dumbest things that I live for in gaming in all honesty

    Lore dump. The raccoon girl singing is the main character of the game (specifically the female one Stella and no she doesn't have the ears and tail in game) the reason why she's obsessed with trash and trash cans is because their was a place called Belobog where you can loot trashcans for stuff and they also came with funny dialog and the community loved it so much that it became a core personality trait of the MC that they're obsessed with garbage and thrashcans also yes the purple agent is garbage juice and you can craft food with it that you can eat. 0:33 that's Kaffka the (adopted) mother of the protagonist who abandoned the MC at the beginning of the game. Fun fact the MC is canonically the King/Queen of Trash kingdom a alternate/pocket dimension that is home to a race of sentient trash cans that speak Japanese and watch My little pony (no I'm not making this up). Lastly 7:08 Fu Xuin is a character that is made fun of for being short.

    As people have said it is a running g gag that has gone to the stars that the mc is a raccoon for collecting trash. But it all started because they did a meme interaction with a trashcan where you had to search a specific can to get like 5 of the currency to do pulls. And the whole interaction was hilarious because the mc downright believed there’s a treasure because that’s how other game protagonists find it so they dug deep into that trashcan for a golden bag of trash. The mc isn’t trash as a playable character at most times, some forms are bad others are the best, and the girl that became a ‘trashcan’ robot is a character that has a full out robot suit she uses to fight bugs with but she also is like stalker levels of wanting to make sure the mc is ok, well fed, and not in trouble…….there might be some love but she never really showed it yet anyway the trashcan version was just a way to try and get the mc to pay attention to her more than trash in this song.
    Final note the purple snake thing that ate her flowers in the beginning of the song stabbed her in the back in the game.

    You see, it's a running joke that Hsr's MC, your character, loves digging through trash because of one moment in the beginning of the game where you can explore a populated area with plenty trash cans that you can find items in. However, there's one of the side characters that keep asking you what your doing and to go where you need to go. As a result, they get called 'raccoon' by the fandom. The devs liked that joke so much they sticked to it and now, the MC cannonically dumpster dives on a regular basis. In the most recent planet, there's a moment wher the MC dreams of being the lord of a landfill and defending it. The female with purple hair is, simply put, the MC's mom and the fandom's mommy and she has plans for your character, just planned really in advance, and she just brang you to life, long to explain, and abandonned you with the main cast, the girl turning into a robot is the closest thing to a love interest and the guy is someone your solving a mystery with.

    My favorite part about scrolling through the comment here trying to explain the joke, is that not one person has mentioned that the devs gave every trashcan in the game unique dialog. Ranging anywhere from "this sure is a trash can" to a whole ass new Narnia novel.
    Also, Firefly converting her mecha armor to look like trash cans just so Stelle will love her is amazing, and I really hope it gets added as a skin.

  • @DanaOtken
    @DanaOtken 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Some of the context (but really more than you wanted):
    * This setting's actual fundamental laws involve the concept of storytelling and philosophy is a direct source of power. In the galactic stage, this leads to an inverse of the Star Trek social design philosophy, where entirely balanced cultures never achieve interstellar travel while Plants of Hats become the major players. At a more personal level, abnormality is more often a virtue than a hindrance even in social interactions and hypersensitivity and synaesthesia tend to be beneficial to a traveler as they raise your sensitivity to nearby "stories" that aren't entirely yours. The "main character" is capable of attempting to communicate with ordinary plants and rocks, and the fact that reality responds to attention and the boundaries of this multiverse are very fuzzy makes it unclear whether any experience is hallucinatory or whether it's honestly tapping into usually invisible layers of reality. Thus:
    * A joke early on in which choosing to examine an ordinary trash can (some percentage of players coming from other RPGs will test items in a city to see if they're lootable, and another percentage will just try to interact with anything they can) leads to a profound and life-changing experience has slowly gone very far out of control. There is now a deep and twisty rabbit hole of "trash can lore" which by this point clearly isn't just a private delusion, and the main character's (still entirely optional) obsession with trash cans appears to actually be providing access to some of the ancillary powers associated with following a Path (having located and attuned yourself to one of the metaphysical fracture lines where reality and minor narratives are most mutable, inflicted by the presence of a higher being whose existence is encapsulated by and creates this Path). One element played with by this video is that canonically Stelle no longer has any social problems caused by this. She no longer stinks from proximity to trash, this pasttime isn't really any secret - there is in-setting cartoon racoon merchandising based on her, and almost nobody even thinks twice about this - and this is extremely similar to the basic resistances gained by following an existing Path despite there being no known Path of (Trash? Reclamation? Refraction?).
    * The "main character" of this game has a mostly unknown past, but we actually see them be entirely physically rebuilt near the start of the game in a form which must be functionally different to the previous (cosmetically is less clear), pick a body template to use which means picking a sex, and be abandoned with amnesia on a space station under attack. That said, we know they used to hang with the people who did this, survived (and very few of the former could manage this), and are using skills at the level of muscle memory that clearly came from this background. One peculiarity here is that "Caelus" and "Stelle" (code names for male and female body templates) have distinctly different body language and emotions even though at times these can coincide. Due to that Caelus already has a shtick "cocky early twenties anime protagonist energy" whereas Stelle is more reserved (I say her most common demeanor is that of a female wolf who hasn't quite decided yet if she's feeling cornered), a clearly delighted Stelle always appears more unhinged and so while the trash thing is not one of the very few sex-linked changes to the narrative (really, there are extremely few but the game also takes pains to prove it does in fact track all the little choices you make including this one) the fanbase likes making the girl be the crazy one. As this also covers "crazy awesome", the entire playerbase tends to be fine with this as fanon.
    So this song is one of the best types of joke: it acknowledges the weirdness of life in a way that simply living doesn't.

    • @DanaOtken
      @DanaOtken 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Oh, and simply to explain the "trash can robot": in a high-profile fighting tournament a group of cosplayers entered trying to pass themselves off as this robotic character with ancillary robot assistants. While this worked early on as this person's reputation is far more widespread than their appearance and opponents were simply forfeiting matches rather than risk a fight, the main character instantly noticed their outfits were trash, called up the actual person (slightly terrifying a nearby journalist who had no idea she knew them), and confirmed it was just a random group of idiots rather than some elaborate sponsored prank - which was a possibility. (After getting defeated and their apparently very expensive trash can costumes damaged, they received a talking-to about impersonations that will put you in the crosshairs of pretty much every law enforcement AND criminal organization in the galaxy.)

    As funny as the “this character is trash” metaphor would be- it’s just a gag based of our, as the players, actions. And the fact that the trash item gives a -15% hp affect, so literally a trash item. Stelle, or caelus, the mc of star rail is actually a good character, and as an end game f2p I still use the trash panda in my team, but for support, also I have a feeling the trash can gag will continue into amphorius, the next planet of the game.
