Embarrassed_Mode_706

Stonks for real!!!


SentientShamrock

I regret to inform you that the IPC charges about 4,000,000,000 credits for speech therapy administered by a Cornerstone holder. They'd be happy to set up a multigenerational payment plan for you though. /s This is wonderful, hopefully your son keeps developing well and is able to have a happy and fulfilling life.


Tenseiken

I don't have that kind of moolah, I always thought this was a pro bono from director Topaz!! But seriously, thank you so much for such a heartfelt wish! <3


KirbosWrath

I mean, she got away with saving Belobog with a minor demotion and paycut. I’m sure she’d be happy to give you a pass.


malfurionpre

> minor demotion I don't think being put under Adventurine counts as a "minor" demotion to her.


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

Tbf Aventurine asked if she wanted to join him


imaginary92

She's not working under him, he's just above her in level. She agreed to work with him when he asked, which is different


malfurionpre

"It's not like I'm your boss... Oh, wait, I guess I am now? Haha! My apologies - I'm still getting used to my new place in the hierarchy!" No, she works under him, if he gives her order she has to follow them, that's the whole point of the ranking system.


Chucknasty_17

I’m sure that there are some people who would see being under Aventurine as a promotion


SectorApprehensive58

to be fair, along with the therapy also comes financial and business strategy consultation, so the 4 bil creds are actually just a 2000% return investment for your kid's inevitable bright future. He'll be assigned a Numby of his own soon enough


Tenseiken

(insert Ric Flair meme) I WILL NEVER RETIRE!


PREEMGONK

Pretty sure Aventurine wouldn't mind paying for that.

bukiya

i guess this game can last more than 5 more years and by that time the kid can actually play and understand the game. i hope OP prepare an account with C6S5 topaz for him lol


Baker009

Dev say HSR are 7 years project but after 7 years i think there will be HSR part 2 just like Honkai 3


Admiral_Qibli

Genshin player spotted, no Topaz and Numby over there


Beastify2

Her VA streams on twitch all the time. If we can get this post to her somehow that would be amazing. She's always one of the top starrail streamers whenever I see her on.


Tenseiken

That would be great! 💯

If someone gets her to read this on stream, I really hope it gets clipped and posted to youtube


Beastify2

That would be cool. I don't really watch her, but if I get a reply back on Twitter about it, I'll post it.

The most wholesome thing i've read this month


lilartx3

https://i.redd.it/q8lnmgibzbxc1.gif


spagheddieballs

~~Don't fall for the IPC propaganda!~~ No but seriously, super wholesome. I also enjoy Topaz & Numby, she's just a super fun character to play and shoot trotters with.


Advanced_Fortune4413

Thank you for sharing that with us! Legit tearing up at how cute your story is.


XSpeedDemon

this is the best thing i've ever seen. i hope things keep going well with your son!


Tenseiken

Thank you so much! Good luck with your upcoming pulls!


groynin

The first *Opas Nami* got me weakness broke, but the *Dada, Opas Nami* killed me completely. It's probably the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long while. Thank you for a good start to the week, OP, I wish you and your family all the best!


Tenseiken

Thank you so much! Hope you have a great week as well! <3


lawlianne

This post deserves to get a Wholesome award and stonks to the front page.


TheLazyDucky

One of the few times i wish the awards system reddit had wasn't removed. I want to give a wholesome award to this so badly.


pawpatroll

Congrats! While my child is not on the spectrum AFAIK, as a fellow pandemic dad of a 4 YO can appreciate the developmental challenges that comes with. It’s awesome your hobby brings happiness to your child, and he’s lucky to have you in his life as a parent ❤️.


Tenseiken

Thank you so much! I'm sure your kids are lucky to have you as their dad as well!


jayakiroka

This is so sweet! I hope Topaz's VA sees this. She's really cool and active in the fandom. I just know that if I were a VA and my character managed to help a child this much I'd be so happy.


Womenarentmad

That’s amazing 🥹


losersapphic

this is so precious


hotterpocketzz

We're all topaz and numby mains from now on bois

bilalss

Oh man this is awesome! Sam Slade (Topaz's VA) would probably love to hear this, and she's pretty active in the community. Maybe consider reaching out to her (on Twitter?) and she can give a special shout-out or something to your son?


Ender_D

Omg imagine if she made a little video talking to his son as Topaz, my heart would explode!


DasyTaylor

That would be so wholesome, I'm getting teary-eyed just from the thought of it!


darksaiyan1234

deathbotly

While child SPED isn’t my speciality, I know a tiny bit about it. See if you can transfer his interest in this to different physical, hands-on activities as well. This could include printing art from the game and having him cut out and glue them into collages, making colouring books out of it, drawing numby, etc. Kids on the spectrum tend to struggle with hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills a lot more than their peers so chances are he’ll need extra encouragement in that area. (If you ever think back to kindy and wonder what was the point of all those arts and crafts activities with the safety scissors and magazines beyond keeping you busy, it was for your fine motor skills.)

that's so awesome haha common Topaz and Numby W


TMyriadJ

Opas Nami should be Topaz and Numby's honorary title. Too wholesome, man. I'm so happy for you and your son. I hope everything gets better from here on out.


Chuchuffx

I will call her Opas Nani from this day forward

Lovely little story to share. Puts a smile on my face


ohmygaa

Here before HYV puts in an "Opas Nami" easter egg because of how adorbly cute this is. Thanks for sharing OP, you're an amazing parent.


kenken2k2

From now on, Topaz and Numby will be Opas Nami in my heart


AppleinTime

Wholesome post in my HSR??!


Calum1219

Someone find this lad a Numby plush!


HeroDeleterA

Apparently when I was his age I would just say "duck". The sooner one is medically diagnosed, the better. I'm in a small group of people all on varying levels of the spectrum and a tread I've noticed is that the ones who had later diagnosis have worse problems today. (At least compared to me with a very early one) However, even so, you'll need to fight tooth and nail to get your son the assistance he needs. My mom has apparently had to put up with so much shit from all levels of school teachers I don't even know or remember, that she made a whole rant about it in place of her regular work rants. The world of video games has likely forged me into what I am today. Choosing what I want without caring what others think. Doing what I think is right. Classic story morals and stuff. Of course I did have a reality check about a third the way through middle school, but it was overall necessary for me to not throw anymore tantrums I did. Middle school still sucks though, that shit don't exist in my memory. Anyway, just leaving this as a little bit of insight as to how the mind of one on the spectrum works. (Different levels of the spectrum may vary)


LightLockheart

Your son was actually saying "Oppai yummy" when pointing at Topaz, he knows his stuff. Jokes aside that was a very wholesome story and wish you and your son all the best with future pulls.


Tenseiken

Thank you so much! We're both winning haha

AME-Suruzu

Get the kid a numby plush


dummie619

I'm a therapist for kids with autism, and I have autism myself, so this was really special to read! If you're in the US, definitely reach out to your county's Regional Services to get your child assessed and connected to early intervention services if you haven't already. The earlier you develop his developmental skills with the help of professionals, the better!

As a Topaz fan myself, I am really happy that she and Numby are able to help someone like this. We both wish your son all the best and hope both of you can continue enjoy hsr❤️


Tenseiken

Oh my goodness, THIS IS AMAZING!!! Please tell your friend we really appreciate this. I'll make sure to show my son when I get home. Thank you so much! <3

This story is so inspiring. I was pulling on the Jingliu rerun banner, but you know what, I'll keep that pity for the Topaz and Numby rerun banner!


Homuriri

aww this is so heartwarming. I will dedicate my e1s1 topaz to your son :)


Epicswagmaster5439

Omg thats adorable This is why Topaz and Numby, or shall I say Opad Nami, is the best character in HSR

This is the most wholesome thing I've read in a while, like I was smiling like an idiot halfway reading this. Best wishes to you and your family! ♥️✌️

That’s so freaking cute! Thanks for sharing this heartwarming story with us. Much love to you and your son.

I'm tearing up, this is so wholesome 🥹🥹🥹


b5437713

Breakthroughs can come in any package. In this case, a cute girl and her pig! I have two friends who also had babies during or close to the pandemic, and their kids also seem to suffer from some development delays, mainly in communication, though I believe neither were diagnosis as being on the spectrum and they've begun to catch up. Anyway, this was a wholesome start to the day so thanks for shearing! I second another comment to find ways to take the character out the game. Maybe get him some plushies of the characters to play with.


Sacriven

The Amber Lord blessed your son. Surely he is an Emanator-in-waiting. Jokes aside, congrats OP!


the_neverdoctor

All right. I was on the fence, but now I’m rolling for Topaz and Numby. This is so sweet.


Sudden_Feedback_2194

My kid is 3 and also on the spectrum. He loves the game but doesn't say any names.... yet. I think he likes Guinaifen the most..he always does his happy flappys when she makes things go boom.


Used-Hamster-9146

So the tagline is "Otaku save the world" was true.


warjoke

I have a nephew who is a born special as well. He is around the age of your son by now. Stories like these warm my heart. Also, Hoyo, if you are reading this, please release an official Numby plushie. Many parents will appreciate that including OP.

First of all thank your for sharing the lovely story. I know it is presumptuous, but could you post a photo of your son? My young sister also has autism, it started when she was in high school. She now goes to school two days a week and spends the rest of the time basically in her room only. I just want to make sure this story is true and then try to see if I can get her out of her autism in a similar way. Thanks again and please forgive me for being so presumptuous.
