Honestly they better do this man justice and give him a huge scene in game dealing with Oswaldo. I'll be angry if they don't. But damn, that ending of the video...maybe while Boothill is journeying for his revenge, he'll learn to enjoy his time with friends along the way and find reason to live on for them as well. It's hard to say...on one hand he really deserves peace and rest, but on the other hand, I'd love for him to find another life where he can just BE.
He's an amazing character and by far my favorite. I want to see more of his silly antics in the future and see how much chaos he causes. He deserves so much more attention than what he's been given so far so I'm hopeful he'll have a big character arc.
I completely agree! We better get him front and center when Oswaldo gets confronted eventually! As much as I'd love for him to find a new reason to live I highly doubt it,, but I do hope that until then we get to see this man life out his current life to the max he can 🥹✊️🫡💖
I shit you not I first saw boothill 1 or 2 months before he was even teased on a VR star rail avatar world. His face was at the bottom of the list and I remember thinking “who tf is that”
@@polarispm HAHAHA he was around MONTHS before his official tease and it was hilarious especially the fanart that existed prior!
Great video, and I know the update was after the video but Boothill talking to Aventurine about their hatred for Oswaldo and saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" was a really cool development, would love to see them work together if Oswaldo became a major thing in thr story :)
Oh yeah, Boothill was so based for that,
I really hope to see them tear Oswaldo down at some point
And thank you 💓🥹🫡
he should get his own myriad celestia trailer!!!
I hope so 😔
I was rly sad when he didn't. I NEED ONE THO :, D
First, Ratio. Now, Boothill. Your analysis essays are impressive.
Another huge golden star!
Thank you so much 😭🥹💕 ! It means a lot! Up next on our list should be..Argenti 👀!
Thank you for giving this wonderful character yout time and credit. He really is overlooked by so many! I'm glad I pulled for him
You're most welcome! And I agree a lot of people have indeed overlooked him especially since he didn't get much of the spotlight overall
But he didn't get over looked by me! I love his character deeply I do not regret getting him 🥹💖
I liked that they made it canon he can't write, and this made me very sad because in the latest trailblaze mission they made it so that he just types normally now.
Yeah I noticed that too - either hoyoverse forgot or or because they were mostly short sentences they figured he would know these words somewhat- regardless it is an odd choice,,
I’m pretty sure he uses speech-to-text still. If he could write, he would’ve actually cursed instead of still using “what the fridge”
Loved this deep dive of Boothill. As much as I love his outgoing, loud personality, the fact he lost so much physically and suffers so much emotionally…oh my god and he’s still so caring and kind-I…this one is worth remembering I swear. Really happy to have pulled for him 🥺💕💕💕
Thank you so much! 🥹💖 And I agree he is certainly not a character to easily forget, he deserves to be remembered as time goes on too,,
This is a great video and its fun learning new things and different contexts about this character! I think the poetry segment was a really cool comparison and it will live rent free in my head
Thank you so much! I'm glad you got to learn new things about him 💓 !
I love boothill SO MUCH 😭😭😭 protect him at alo cost
@@Boon_4444 For real! 😭💖
Thank for video its wonderful analysis
I think i have obsession on boothill love him so much
Im crying....
And fact and the fact that maybe boothill might voluntarily leave this life after revenge.(last words in 4 story) it breaks my heart
@vitary5450 im glad you enjoyed it 💕
And yeah this man always gets me emotional,, truly one of the most depressing stories 🥹💕 I love him so much
oh my gods, thankyou so much for this. As a non honki fan who loves Boothill, this was such a great explanation! I love it so much and you desvrree 10 million views on this. The art was really pretty and it was very understandable, wich is good because I know nothing about honki. Thaknn you so much for making this video, I'm going to sit on this for days
@@creepergirl8479 ahh thank you so much! I’m glad you loved it 🥹💓

@@rembbokie thank you so much! And absolutely will continue 💞🥹🫡 I love talking about these different characters and sharing it with everyone 💖🌹
Boothill my bbg why does ur life have to be so tragic 😭
Because hoyoverse hates happy normal lives 😭💃
I absolutely loved this analysis video! This is the most in depth one on Boothill I’ve seen so far. I love how you made connections to real life history and literature regarding his backstory. The amount of research you did for this video was insane and it really shows! I feel now I have a better understanding of his character. This video was so good I look forward to future analysis videos from your channel ❤❤❤
Awwhs thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that you managed to learn from it 🥹💓
I'm now absorbing this video into my being, I love it so much thank you for this 🙏🙏
Awhshs you're absolute welcome! And thank you 🥹💓
I swear, I wasnt even into HSR until I saw him. I dont know why I love boothill so much. I first watched this at like 1AM on my TV and I meant to comment on it at daybreak, but I forgot. I think this is an excellent video. You're a blessing. Thank you for this! Have a nice day ❤
@Idontknowwhattoputtbh awhs thank you so much! I appreciate it deeply, I hope you are having a nice day/night 🥹💕
@@velynda_lee you're welcome!! Also, thanks😁 💖
Thanx for putting some on this character, i hope that we meet him again.
Also, he reminds me of Jason Todd (the dead Robin)
You're welcome 💖 and I agree I hope we get to see him again soon
Extremely underated and amazing analysis! I love all the connections you made and boothill has definitely become one of my fav characters now, hope to see more from you in the future :D
also love your art, do you post them anywhere? :]
Thank you so much ! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it 💓🥹
I do post my art over on Twitter! x.com/VelyndaL
@@velynda_lee hehehe thank you sm i will be checking it out right away :D
@@racoonbagelo awshsh you're welcome 🥹💓 and thank you 💓
Love your video, the format , the analysis, the fact you added insight on many and explained symbolism like the eagles' feathers, for example.
Very informative.
As well loce your drawing. ❤ its very pretty and watching feels relaxing.
One thing I have to add is the sound quality needs some work. Your voice is not loud enough, or maybe the audio is down. I couldn't hear with ease in the headphones or speaker.
Oh yeah I always have audio issues cause I have 0 mic 🫡 thank you so much I’m glad to hear that it was informative to you 🥹💖
@velynda_lee keep on the great work!
..... wait 0mic? What did you record this on if you don't mind answering
@ralunix4612 oh I just-
Used my phone to record--- and my iPad for footage
I don't have any laptop, computer,
or fancy tools
I make do with what I have at my disposal
To others? You mean to toxic firefly fans yeah? /hj
It’s also nice to know I’m not the only one who’s stil, stuck on Boothill
@@danalynch118 yeah….😭
Like if you were anywhere online on the day boothill got marketed,, you know what happened with the firefly fans 😭
@@velynda_lee Literally. Like Sunday fans have a right to complain about that. But like, oh noooo one character’s coming out before your mecha waifuuuu so sad such a good reason to be bitchy. Like chill out. I am so tired of bitchy FF fans my god. Like stfu goddamn
I've never played this game but I saw Boothill in a reel and have dived into a HSR rabbit hole and this video absolutely scratches a Boothill-loving itch for me lol 🖤🤍
I feel like many feel into a rabbit Hole cause of boothill and with good reason
He truly is a uniquely fascinating character in all aspects
I'm glad the video could scratch that ich for ya 🥹✊️💕
I also started playing for the cowboy and am currently miffed that he's being overshadowed by Firefly content 😭
