Ocean

This snooty cat gets her name from the olive, as her ears, paws, and tail match the color of the Kalamata olive! She has the music hobby and she loves to sing and dance all the time! She’s skilled at brainteasers, and one day she wants to be a drummer! She loves her Kilimanjaro coffee as black as possible, and her favorite song is currently KK Sonata! Wish her a very very astounding birthday, purrr! 

Genshin Impact Character Build Guide (jk)

Maybe you’ve heard about Genshin Impact, the #1 video game on all of Tumblr, and maybe you’ve actually had a chance to go outside and touch some grass this year. Either way, the massive boom in this game’s popularity cannot be disputed or understated. We even know dads who play this game. The first time it popped up on our weekly Video Games list was October 5, 2020. That was about a week after it was released, and it hasn’t left the top 5 since. Seriously. 

It’s not your average gacha game and, in its first year since launch, has drawn an audience of gacha enthusiasts and open-world adventure game fans alike. A lot of that can be attributed to compelling story arcs and gameplay and a wish system that keeps players deliciously frustrated and coming back month after month. 

At the core of Genshin Impact is its cast of characters. It’s clear that Tumblr has fallen in love with each and every playable character, NPC, and boss—and even a few weaponized friends. With a world as expansive as Genshin’s, it’s also impossible not to mention the beautiful landscapes of its three regions. Inazuma is the surprising favorite, considering it was only added to the map in July. It has a whopping 139.6% more engagements than the next highest region, Liyue. Sorry, Mondstadt. At least you gave us Diluc.

Whether you’ve won or lost a 50/50, you’ve probably come across your fair share of fan art, fics, builds, and headcanons if you’ve spent any time on this website. This game is filled with cuties, and the favorites are probably pretty obvious by now.
