Wait but that hecking reminded me that Asclepius and SS Apollo are related. That's so funny. I can't.

...I can see the resemblance OH NO (THE FUNNY GENES PASSED ON JISFSFJOD)

-Galaxian-

Btw my headcanon for Asclepius is that he's half fallen doctor, 100-percent raging gamer
Bro can't respawn (maybe you guys can see why I don't interact with the fandom. They would kill me)

-Galaxian-

Btw Odysseus is translated really effectively into SSA's art style, it's kinda insane ngl. This iteration of him is the only reason I can imagine him properly in the anime styles
In general I send a lot of compliments to how well character designs across the franchise are conveyed

However, dude is getting made fun of. Literally "HAHA I CAN COUNT TO 12" (technically that's Asclepius but still)

-Galaxian-

Why do Hades and his people keep coming to my place? (says the person tormenting Saints in an AU)

Surplice AE was on rate-up, so basically I dragged 3 men here kicking and screaming. (Screaming "ATHENA EXCLAMATION")
Actually I'm pretty sure Saga and Camus don't want to be here. Shura seems to like me fine. Don't you, Shura? (he looks at me weird)
Btw they said they don't wanna be here so hard that Hades Alone and Odysseus (two comparable-rarity units at EX rarity, both off-banner) came here instead. Too bad I've been begging for shards of them + summon on every banner they appear on, so I got all their shards and dragged them here anyways.

Turns out Odysseus needs skill leveling to function effectively. Screw you bro, do you see this guy? (*points at God Cloth Aphrodite*)

-Galaxian-

I really wanna write for the SS AU.

^ By that they mean, avoid character planning and development and write some weird crap with people bonding over food or haircuts (/hj, only for the last part. the avoidance is real)

-Galaxian-

Time you would love this event btw (forced event story support for 5/6 available slots with super entertaining, story-aligned gameplay)

-Galaxian-

Luck rank D is when your summoner brings you to a fun 10-part battle blindly hoping you can help solo the boss at the end, only for the other mandatory support Servants to steal your kills (and buffs) each time and then the final boss turns out to be an Archer. You're a Saber btw. Wanna guess who I'm talking about?

-Galaxian-
 

I need to remember to read Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver's manga.
(I am there entirely to destroy myself, as usual. I know the ending and everything so lmiao)

Btw most of my reactions to the characters are "what is WRONG with you" except a few.
I love the Archer pair. I am very biased. But I also love Saber, and feel bad for Lancer (luck EEeee), and I'm enjoying seeing the Berserker pair lol.
So anyways you can probably guess the way things are gonna go. 
I love Arash so much. I had him solo you-know-who. 

ORT. Because he can't die from Stella there. He brought down like a whole HP bar by himself. He is so awesome. If he has no Chinese fans then I am dead. (I actually dunno how much fanart he gets from the Chinese fanbase but one day I WILL draw him, mark my words with an arrow or something idk I will)

-Galaxian-

Y'know, it feels good to be happy, I think. 
While I'm this way, lemme emphasize how much I love F/DA and SS. And pretty much every world actually, but as I make abundantly clear, these two occupy my mind so much in particular.
These characters deserve high-quality stories and I'm gonna try my best to help convey those stories.

Compliments to F/GO's current event
Its gameplay is very interesting. I got burned out again (actually, it's starting to lag a lil again and I have no patience), so. Yeah. 

I also need to compliment Beishan's princess from HYXHN, she slaying so hard

-Galaxian-

I love Lavinia <3 and Harold <3 and Mostima <3 
Mostima's actually been hard carrying me through content. Not in the current IS--she costs so much (in DP and hope) that it's hard for her to make an impact by the time she does make it into the team--but otherwise her SP recovery for Casters is so handy.
Oh yeah I also love Nymph, it's just her S2 is so good by itself

(used it to beat up Patriot twice

that I haven't seen the need to unlock her S3.
I did E2 Penance. Not sure what her relationship with Vigil is for sure (some people ship them, some people don't...wow this is an non-statement), I just know Vigil in-game is pretty bad. Like wow they weren't joking about him being bad without a module. It's sorta like Windflit, my poor guy. But I think they're probably close on some level. 
I cannot remember who else I've talked about. I guess I've E2ed Utage? I enjoy Soloblades (some people would pull out their hair for me not calling them Musha)
I also E2ed Civilight Eterna. I can't actually tell how well I use her, but ah well. I've always wanted someone with Inspiration in their skill, and I wasn't able to find Sora anywhere lol.  

Oh wait, I remembered a few.
-Ray an MVP (her S3 is cracked)
-I love Warmy <3 (I have to pull for Alanna in around 5-6 months lol)
-> btw her English name is weird because in Chinese her name is Wen Mi, "Warm Rice" but it sounds like a name. Oh well. It's better than uhhhh uhh I forgot the example I wanted to put up.
-I got Bobbing to help for Warmy. He's a Burn Ritualist. Not sure how meta this combo is until a certain lil dragon guy comes over to Global, but no harm in trying in the meantime. 
-I got Siege Alter before I got Bobbing. I kinda expected it since she came in Recruitment. no, those things don't have actual causal relation, I just like thinking of it this way. I eventually got a Bobbing. Not too effective at using him but man, I love people with white hair (and blond hair. And red hair. And blue hair. An

…

I thought I would be emotionally devastated by IRL stuff on Friday, but as it turned out it would be the SS AU that would pwn me the day after, thanks SS AU. (why you always like this)

I just watched Shura hecking slide up the steps in SSA. It took everything in me to not just lose it right then and there. No, because Camus and Saga ran. He literally just slid. 
Also before that there was the fact that they were (again) all buried in like. 1-meter-deep graves. I'd be digging out of there too. So I was kinda losing it already, that pretty much sent me over the edge

I also got Surplice Shura off-banner, so that's there (do you see why I maybe roast Camus. The 100+-pull dude. Shura came in one multi. Same rarity btw, with no rate-up)
God Cloth Aphrodite came as well within a multi or two. Pretty sure he's hecking broken. Dude's skills are 1-1-1-1 and he is wreaking havoc. Surplice Shura also works based on Bleed, so now they're in the same team. Gotta love canonically nonsensical teams. 
Anyhow, this is why forum!Galaxian is closer to Aphrodite and Shura than Camus btw (well part of it is because of my historical beef with him and the fact that I didn't want to take away any of Camus' time from Isaak and Hyoga)

God Cloth Saga is for sure in the release future, and there is no way he won't just break the meta. The Gemini just be like that. Free money printers ig. 
There are differences in power even amongst the God Cloth characters, though I haven't used many of them (they're very high-investment in general). I'm guessing Milo is sorta middle of the pack in terms of general usage, though maybe good for countering Camouflage in PVP? Of everyone, I feel like I see Shura the most, along with Aldebaran (good for him). I mean, Shura just slices everything. Good for him I guess. 
I only have a few God Cloth characters. Mu is coming in a few days (I am begging for shards since I kept not logging in lol). And then I have Aiolia, Shaka, Milo, and Aphrodite, which is kinda

…

Alrighty, with that out of the way, lemme give an inactivity notice. I'll stay logged out of the forum for a bit. 
I also won't be responding to Discord until further notice...or until I login again and reply through there, since I probably will forget to give notice. But until then, I won't be looking at it at all, period. Actually, I deleted all versions of it lol. 

Expect me to log in here earlier than I will on Discord, so if you want to reach out, feel free to PM here (or reply to a thread if we have a chat thread). Other than that, email will be the best bet since I check it once in a blue moon...I don't think we really use email, though. But I can't guarantee a response 'til I get back.

Reason for absence: There are a few, the biggest of which is the usual one. I don't feel too well, and don't want to accidentally take it out on anyone. Life always finds a way to start sucking around this time of year, I'm noticing. 
There are some things I'll need to do once I get back, but that's for later. Procrastination yay.

Duration: No promises for anything this time. Just can guarantee that I won't leave permanently. That's sorta the default, but ah, heck it. Hopefully I can do ArtFight in July, so maybe then...? Or sometime during the summer idk. Again, I dunno. I'll figure it out. Maybe once things cool down a bit, the need for a break in the first place will magically disappear. I need to figure out what I want to do in terms of online presence and stuff. Been having a bit of a crisis in that area, which is probably unnecessary.
It's entirely possible the moment I get out of the current rut I'll be running back here to do my usual spamming, but for some reason it doesn't feel quite right at the moment.

That's about it. Good luck with all you're doing!

Kanon really is the funniest because his strategy is:
-Let Shiryu and Hyoga get beat up by a Specter
-Use the "technique doesn't work twice on a Saint" rule that way (he doesn't even have to get beat up, he just needs to watch...ngl this is pretty much cheating in Saint interpretations I'm pretty sure.)
-Galaxian Explosion with no other explanation
-Row away
-Realize you forgot forgot to ask where to row. Says "eh" and keep going anyway.

lol imagine the river wasn't straight or something, they'd get lost for weeks/months

-Galaxian-

The 3 Gold Saints' dynamic is really just
Milo and Aiolia:
Mu: Do you see what I have to deal with. 

(Shaka avoids everyone except for Mu so he doesn't feel any sympathy at all)
