[Honkai: Star Rail] Costume implications

Posted under Tags

BUR #57983 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update favgroup:54391 -> acheron_(slashed_dream)_(honkai:_star_rail)
create implication acheron_(slashed_dream)_(honkai:_star_rail) -> acheron_(honkai:_star_rail)

It's hard to search for this version of Acheron, a character with 6.5K posts. Probably something that should've been done a while ago but didn't think there was any basis for it, though now that Ye Shunguang (Enlightened State) exists (there was another similar form tag made but I forgot for who) I think there's some precedent to do this for such a big character tag.

Default

Key differences: overall palette swap to mostly black and white with traces of red, a single elbow glove changed for colored extremities, white coat changed for single detached sleeve/single wide sleeve, (usually) longer hair.

Wikis are updated. I built the favgroup from acheron_(honkai:_star_rail) red_hands so some additional manual gardening will be needed in places where this search doesn't match or things like split theme/transformation.

BUR #57984 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update acheron_(slashed_dream)_(honkai:_star_rail) -> -official_alternate_hair_color -official_alternate_color -official_alternate_eye_color

Follow up BUR to clear out (inconsistent) official alternate tagging and help break the habit. If a character tag is created for the form then using those tags loses justification. It's currently a complex multi-tag search to (attempt to) reliably search only for this form, so the tag would effectively encompass doing that search. Verified for any conflicts as well, which this will not have.

These tags will stay on other Acheron posts so there's at least some way to look for posts that need the new form tag.

BUR #58369 is pending approval.

create alias galactic_baseballer_(honkai:_star_rail) -> trailblazer_(baseball_raccoon)_(honkai:_star_rail)
create implication trailblazer_(baseball_raccoon)_(honkai:_star_rail) -> trailblazer_(honkai:_star_rail)

So far as I can tell, there's no visual difference between the "Galactic Baseballer" cartoon raccoon from earlier events and the "Baseball Raccoon" from the current story arc. The new name is a lot more prominent so I think we should probably use it for the tag.

In this BUR I'm also making it follow the model of Trailblazer (Trash Cake) (Honkai: Star Rail) and Trailblazer (Trailbirder) (Honkai: Star Rail) for the other animalizations of the Trailblazer.

I'd prefer we keep Galactic Baseballer as a separate chara, ditto with the other "Fluffy" animalizations, but that's more of we need to avoid tangling this issue further wrt to the umbrella Trailblazer tag when we still need to definitively settle the issue with gendered protagonist charas as a whole (topic #25394 and forum #415750).

Remember that in the BUR I tried to run in topic #32153, I specifically made sure that the ambiguous cases (Trash Cake and Origami Bird) would be split off from the to-be-retired umbrella tag if it ever came to pass, and I feel Galactic Baseballer should be treated likewise since all three come to symbolize the Trailblazer as a whole and in a gender-neutral way when the official promotional arts keep flipping back-and-forth between Caelus and Stelle, depending on who is being advertised for the next banner.
