Aced the presentation :DDD as well as an impromptu mini-speech
I am very proud of myself just so you know; I was so worried about flunking lol but it looks like my stress management has gotten better. Very nice.

Hey, that's cool! I'm proud of you too :D

If I can't draw Raez but suddenly developed the aptitude to draw Hitan does that mean Raez>Hitan in terms of looks (jk)
Anyhow, giving myself a 3-month period to decide if this is actually accurate as drawings go. If it is, then I can officially declare that Hitan remains Hot Dream rather than Cute Dream (: (kudos if you still remember the post that led to this one lol)

Also I love how some spite arises whenever I draw Wiley actually handsome and have to admit it mentally, like technically it shouldn't be a big deal (and isn't), I just loathe admitting it when it comes to him :-P
What can I say, the guy sparks a lot of spite. For instance, to this day I still don't know what his orientation is (: is telling me that hard. Is it. Wiley.

On that note, here's some random inspiration to draw him as a Sprite bottle ig lol (the carbonation effect works as an analogy and as a joke lol) nothing will be done

-Galaxian-

Wiley introducing himself to allies and enemies alike as "Gemini heckin' Wiley" and subsequently t-posing is being way funnier to me than it actually should be, 100% a sign of sleep deprivation lol
Somehow him having the helmet on just makes things funnier. Idk he's just so thin and the Gemini Cloth covers so much surface area that I imagine no one can actually see his face, it's just the Gemini Cloth in human form with some copper hair sticking out in the helmet's weirdest places

-Galaxian-

Wiley: (*gets his helmet punched off*)
Wiley: Oopsie daisie! You just pressed the HARD MODE button! (*proceeds to somehow actually pwn the enemy*)

This hypothetical AU's hypothetical power levels are a mess, like rn somehow Wiley is being ranked above literally all the other Saint candidates. For no reason. None of them have any power development outside of some minor details.
I don't know how to feel about this.

-Galaxian-

Tbh my imagination of "Wiley with helmet" could just be summarized by mecha Wiley now that I think of it, though it'd be unintentional
He wears 6 layers of clothing underneath so that his armor is a semblance of a better fit or else it'd just clank all over the place
And he's okay-powerful-ish when it comes to the atomic manipulation stuff that Saints do but he just instantly loses in arm wrestling against anyone, including Saint trainees lol

-Galaxian-

In regards to power levels, I can be reasonable and put Wiley somewhere in the middle of the pack (probably leaning towards high just to be funny...so like maybe canon Camus level).
Or I could literally make him OP as heck (outside of the arm strength thing)
Hades has remained complacent for far too long.

Also imagining that any iteration of Wiley is just weirdly good at using those lil wooden daggers, like he could swordfight someone out of a sword with that thing. the Archer class is made of Archers. Universally.
This is coming from a related canon headcanon so technically it is already canon
Can't wait to disarm Hades with him (: oh wait this AU's Hades doesn't really use swords in the first place ):

Does he have his hair dyed in thie AU or nah

Lol nearly missed this due to my spamming, sorry
Honestly Wiley's hair coloring is weird for me to imagine in general (in literally all the universes he's in), like the multicoloration feels like an integral part of his character but also kills my eyes to the extent of making me consider removing it from most AUs
So the answer is "not sure." In actuality "Gemini hecking Wiley" is even more hypothetical than this hypothetical AU since the initial sketch concept was just that. A sketch concept for me to see how he looks in Gold Cloth/slightly older/without hair dye (and this was before F/DA existed). But realistically, a "normal" look wouldn't be characteristic for him, so the possibility's out there along with many others. I'd probably lean towards other options if possible if I wanted to design him though.
Probably an overcomplicated answer but thanks for asking (:

-Galaxian-

May I draw SS Wiley owo

Wiley actually pulls the armor look very well. And I am mad about it.
He even pulls off the big 'ol helmet. (:

This may possibly be made more amusing by the fact that I know he looks good in the armor (at least from a close-up perspective), I just was in denial the entire time (2 years?) lol

-Galaxian-

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO LOOK GOOD

Imagining him flirting with the Specters (and not even the good-looking ones) to the point where Hades possesses his host early just to convey "what is wrong with you"
His behavior does not match his face. :')

-Galaxian-

Love imagining future me's reaction to whatever this is

Anyways (technically spoilers but also I refuse to tag this one)


@Nagesh - I know you're not religious but ^ (:? :D?
I enjoy memes but am horrible at them lol, so obviously credit to someone else. I just found it really funny.

-Galaxian-

F/DA - as in, Food/Drug Administration

I realized this today and may or may not hate myself for it now (:
(The Food AU lol)

-Galaxian-

All caught up with F/GO's main story!
I ran out of space for embers lol, and my Second Archive is completely full of 5-star all-class embers. So yeah,,, now I do free quests ig.
Thoughts! (Very many spoilers that I don't recommend clicking on if you play the game)

My overall opinion on Naraka Mandala is positive. It has its weak points for sure--like the delivery of exposition and repetition of certain parts of Shimousa--but I like the more unconventional structure of it and the Master-Servant pairs. I also loved the animations as well as lore on Japanese characters like Tuna Tsuna, Banana Ibaraki, and Shuten. 
The highlight of this chapter is definitely Kintoki. I already liked him for being so chill and easygoing, but yeah, my love of him increased a lot because of this chapter. He felt like the protagonist really, more so than the player, and he's cool to hang out with. I love his straightforward sense of justice and caring that he exhibits for the ordinary person, and I liked learning more about him in the chapter.
As for the antagonists, I enjoyed the fights in this chapter, and didn't find any too difficult. Babbage's fight was good practice for using Passionlip, Tsuna's was good practice for Ashwatthama, and I beat Douman first try with the support Ibaraki and then a backline Ashwatthama. I love Ashwatthama's playstyle, and fights not being too hard is great for me since I tend to get stressed real easily. Not to mention, I love beating up Douman (Limbo). The guy's cliche in such a cringe but fitting way that suits his lore, and I enjoy exploiting his hubris. And it was nice seeing his more normal self, too, I suppose--there was some sort of message on individuality and jealousy that was to be gained there, and it's intriguing to see how he seems to respect Seimei but also is definitely jealous of the other, so much so that a single sentence from his Limbo self can make him descend into madness. 
Speaking of whom, I think Seimei's interesting--though from what I understand both he and Douman have a problem of hubris--and his story is funny because it's the second instance I know of where a Chinese teacher revives their disciple and goes, "Okay, now go commit murder." (first one is Nezha's teacher lol) As such a powerful mage, I'm sure he's gotta have a greater role in the future, right? Maybe related to Jiang Ziya? I'll look forward to it. The guy is "busy" with something and that's always sus lol.
I might be forgetting some thoughts, but I think that's it overall? As a "writer" I know that it's hard to really write things well, so maybe I'm not really judging that aspect. But as I said, I enjoyed the unconventional, semi-casual nature of this Pseudo-Lostbelt, and I liked the character interactions. I just wish Kotarou at least could've been there to talk with Danzou. But yeah! Solid chapter, I'm excited for Lostbelt 6...which is where my next target banner is situated. Still gotta think of a fake catalyst for that.

On one hand, it is so cursed to see Ikki in Shun's cloth, and on the other hand Ikki looks really nice in pink wjbdkakd

I mostly just wanna know what brand of sunscreen that universe's Shun uses, like wow how did he not get tanned even one bit, do Hades hosts just have eternally pale skin or what
