I took an extra 10 seconds to find my passport (security flipped my whole backpack inside out and I had to repack) and the guy was about to deport me
Hopefully the next one in like 6 hours is nicer. I’m running on 1 hour of sleep plus yesterday’s four lol

I find it funny how a bad airport experience is apparently universal

-Galaxian-

Mentioning also that I will be going inactive probably starting like right now. My final final exam is on Tuesday, and then on the same day I'll go to the airport, and the next day (Wednesday) I'll be going through flights and stuff. Before that I'll need to pack and clean the kitchen (I don't have much to pack, ironically, just lots of stuff to throw out because I hoard apparently)

I was really about to forget to mention this and disappear like I usually do (lol)

I get to see my mom again in-person, I'm very excited. :D 
And as a reflection in case I fail my chem final and become depressed, overall I'm pretty happy with my first year of college. I think I tried my best to do what I could. Now could I have done more, especially out of academics? Yeah. But at least I didn't keep letting myself wallow in mistakes. The first few days were rough and I got past that, and I think that's good, especially seeing how the culture here is just going on a downward spiral. I'm hoping with every year I can do even better. Overall I want to make sure the college experience for me is a worthwhile investment, and I want to keep pushing my comfort zone and unironically grow as a person. I'm a bit worried because as the years go it's gonna get harder for sure (classes and assignments, and commitments, and stuff I need to get done for the long-term), but that's okay, I just need to take advantage of the fact I usually see things before they're coming and plan accordingly.

Y'know, all of a sudden I remembered this car game I used to play on CoolMathGames, where you had to dodge obstacles while driving forward. The analogy I guess would be that I usually can see the roadblocks coming. I just need to prepare better instead of just staring and keeping my hand on the controls. 
Yea.

That's just copying though. You gotta have the passion and sanity slippage.
Plus ngl, you'd have to match Echo's love for Hektor for it to be equal. Or else the comparison is skewed.

Lust for power leads to the dark side, Time. Don't try it.

Okay so I was gonna say something like "But 'alone' as a keyword indicating someone might need help? Out of anything else?? Really??" then I searched it again and it turns out the results are pretty concerning, so apparently the conclusion is that some Tumblr users actually need help. 
'Cause ngl if I were typing "alone" in usually I'd just be looking for some cool art with solitude as the theme, y'know. Like maybe someone facing towards the horizon as dusk approaches and the light fades away and they're remembering all the friends they've lost.  
Okay maybe not the last part. Solitude's such a cool theme tho. 3: If I tagged my art I feel like I'd use #alone casually.

I was thinking this was a type of "I love seeing my character's get traumatized and suffer!" post but I was wrong. I don't think this is even the standard I like seeing characters being traumatized post.

It turns out things happen when your first group of favorite characters get revived and then killed off unceremoniously (or otherwise tortured for eternity) in every single work of a big anime franchise

Hey Tsunami! Really glad to have you here. Like I mentioned, we're happy with you coming in whenever you're comfortable. We just chill here haha.  I hope you'll enjoy your stay, and feel free to ask us any questions as you need!

Kraken Isaac has confronted you about your aura. What technique do you use to reveal your identity?
> I can take him for a spin and get him back in no time. Another Dimension!
> I might destroy him by accident if he can't dodge, but it's fine. Galaxian Explosion!

Choice confirmed: You have chosen Galaxian Explosion!

Dude launched Gemini's greatest technique at a teen former Bronze Saint trainee who got swept away by some strong ocean currents 💀

-Galaxian-

Just to add on to the double treason thing, I mean look, every other Gold Saint standing on the Pope's side roughed up the Bronze Saints a lil. Aldebaran, Saga's illusions kinda sucked at doing anything other than confusing them [outside of conveniently yeeting Hyoga and then getting interfered with by Camus again] but I digress, Shaka beat 'em up, Milo beat up Shiryu and Seiya before Hyoga came, Shura gave them a bad time, Aphrodite tries to stop Seiya. What does Camus do? "Okay bye I'm gonna try to beat up Hyoga again." 
My biggest critique of Camus' character: Sir couldn't this have hecking waited??

And then I'll just drop two nonsensical observations
-The more past one: I've always wondered if the Pisces Cloth being so orange like the Marinas' scales is just for aesthetics or if it actually had a past connection with the Marinas. I think this one is just my fan headcanon though since it's probably an anime-only colour thing. Still, I refuse to give it up lol. :-P Imagine the orange parts were the original Scale and then it's supplemented by pieces of the material for the Gold Cloth. I think that'd be very cool, especially seeing as the first Holy War between Poseidon and Athena had Poseidon win (and that's where the Cloths came from). 
-Ngl Isaac reminds me of Aquarius Mystoria (Camus' technically canon predecessor). Ofc I think both he and I want Hyoga to be the Aquarius instead, eventually, but the resemblance is a bit uncanny. Plus he can apparently counter Kanon's Galaxian Explosion [while Kanon is holding back] even as a Bronze Saint candidate. No wonder Hyoga thought he was more talented.

Normal people:
Me: Wow this god who caused most of my favorite characters pain and agony for 13 years is so funny! Also dang this lore is cool, I wonder which hells three of my favorite characters burned in after their deaths? 

-Galaxian-

On the mythology front, I mentioned that I like the idea. Still pertains.

From what I can tell, the idea of the lemure and Ker herself are more mythologically accurate compared to Hades the big bad god of death (he isn't that bad but death=edgy oooo. Though ngl the older I get the more I feel like maybe SS's version makes sense too. Bro drew the worst lot between Poseidon, Zeus, and him, and then he has to see the worst of humanity even after they die. 'Course bro is cynical). Lemures are Roman malignant spirits, which generally speaking seems to fit (even if I do think Saga's own evil side is more interesting). And then the Keres are actually related to Thanatos and Hypnos as daughters of Nyx, and supposedly watch the battlefield in search of bloody deaths and bodies (they themselves cannot kill, which answers why Ker herself does not appear in the Hades arc...ig. Now that I know she exists, though, there's no hecking way she didn't try even more schemes, or won't try them after the current Bronze Saints are dead). 

I'm also trying to piece together Saga and Kanon's lore, so here's a shoddy attempt at it ig.
-Both of them were supposed to be the first Gold Saint of the current Holy War/generation, as indicated by a falling star (apparently they're immediately kidnapped by a star upon birth or something idk [plz])
-> But Ker did a lil trollin' and sent in a third Gemini, which Dohko successfully found out to be one of Hades' 108 Stars rather than one of the 88 constellations of the Saints
-> Interesting point here is that Dohko initially ascertained there to be only 1 star, and then 2, and then 3, which to me might imply that from the start, both Saga and Kanon had their fates intertwined with both Gemini and Keres' star? 
-Shion refused to kill the third Gemini because it was only a baby, and then he got pwned by the third Gemini, apparently losing his memories? [idk what happened for Dohko, who retained his consciousness]
-> Ker states that "n

It took me 2 hours
Then I got the heck out of there to torture my arms with strength training

I need 10-year-old Shura biceps, please and thank you. 

The funny thing about my school is you don't know how well you do on the final unless the prof feels like inputting the scores (or making the already overloaded TAs input them ig). So if you screwed yourself over by failing the final, the only way you can tell is by seeing the final grade. Oh yeah also if you wanna see what actually happened you have to pay $100 per test. Very nifty.
I do not want to fail any of my finals. Ever.

Now getting plagued by the notion of little Hyoga never going to sleep when Camus tells him to. 
My mind comes up with the stupidest things to the littlest of triggers I swear.

-Galaxian-

"Pope! Why do you stop me! He's a traitor!" is said in the exact same whiney tone as "Pope! Why do you stop me when I finally mustered the resolve to do this (kill one of my brothers in arms) ):" and it hecking gets me every time

Linking the Milo vs. Aiolia fight here btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9Dg7ecrgwo
Mostly for my personal reference. 

I might be dying because the other day Specter and I were talking about a Star Wars game where you fly a ship and fight against an AI-controlled one and how we had skill issues with the target-oriented torpedoes, and then in this fight you can see Milo basically trying to hit Aiolia with the Leo's own target-oriented torpedo (it doesn't work, but Milo tanks it anyways as you can see with his iconic cross-arm move, whatever it's called.)
I also enjoy Milo trying to sway Aiolia emotionally before they fight and also being a stalker lol (the scorpion fr). It seems really accurate to me.

Other stuff I love:
-Dramatic cape flourish
-Milo's dramatic narrating of the Pope's decisions in general (Milo unintentionally gaslighting Aiolia because the former truly believes the Pope cares for the Saints so much that he'd use a forbidden technique to spare Aiolia's life and believes this so much that Aiolia is about to be convinced by it...meanwhile we ignore the Silver Saints whose ranks pretty much got decimated by the Pope ordering them after the Bronzes instead of ordering a Gold Saint earlier lol)
-Aiolia in general being a lil swayed by Milo's interpretation of the events that he has to default to his faith towards his brother and saying the equivalent of "Okay we fight now. Shut up before I get more confused"
-The Gold Saints calling each other by their full Saint names at least once every time they meet is just so funny
-Milo being Milo (him having to praise Aiolia's technique right before dodging it lmiao it really shows both sides of his pride [he is genuinely complimenting the technique but because of the circumstances it comes off like a backhanded compliment])
-The logic of "your technique is a perfect blend of defence and offence but my scorpion's sting will get to you faster"(??) is so wrong but ends up being right somehow

Btw I see them b
